Arata walks back to Kaede, who was behind the bar.

She smiles and says,

"Creating a bromance with those two already?
Expected as Arata."

"Hey now."

He chuckles and continues,

"It was weird for guys to order my special,
but those two seemed cool so I didn't mind."

"It was fun seeing you play along.
It's rare to see you with guys."

"True... now that you mention it...
I've been with girls most of the time.
Well, it was a nice change at least."

"It was. I find it heartwarming to see guys act like that.
It's... weird, but it was a good weird."

Arata and Kaede continue to work until their shift is over.

"Hey Arata? Can you walk me home?"

(Those who chose this route, please be patient until the other routes have caught up to this point.)
