In my eyes, it looks like this. *somewhat flustered Kujou clinging on to Yanagi* But actually, it is definitely like this. *drooling Kujou thinks that her stomach is bursting from eating that she wants to sleep* Okay, okay, okay, okay, calm down. I already won’t dare to casually get carried away again. (<- already has a considerable serious psychological trauma.) I’m afraid that she was just in a hurry that she held my hand. Surely, it is also simply because she didn’t think too much about it.” Looking at their held hands, Kujou thinks that Yanagi is constantly holding her hand. “He obviously has someone he likes, yet he would still hold someone else’s hand, why..? *Yanagi is puzzled over the cold chill he suddenly felt* (Rather than saying not thinking too much, one should say that it is, suspicious..)...
