Yuu Ishigami: Iino, wake up, we have to leave the cab.
Miko Iino: Lame.. Driver, drop this guy and take me somewhere with a party, I’ll pay.
Ishigami: Yeah.. don’t even fall for it, she’s completely broke.
Miko: I.. can’t move
Ishigami: Yeah right. Get off your feet, don’t even think I am going to carry you.
Miko: Ya Lazy fuck.
Ishigami: Shut up.
Miko: You are really burning to say something.
Ishigami: Ugh
Miko: Spit it out!
Ishigami: Why did you flirt with the president, what’s wrong with you lately!?
Miko: Hah, that’s it? I just wanted to get him drunk.
And what do you mean lately? Nothing’s changed. I’ll let you know I’ve always flirted with him, ever since high school.
Ishigami: Huh!?
[...]
Miko (smug): [...]
Ishigami: That’s just because you’re a pathetic loser.
Miko: What do you even know?
Ishigami: Oh yeah?
You were always needy for that sort of attention but also terrified of actually getting it. So you picked on guys that would never do anything about it.
Miko: Are we in the business of knowing how the other was in high school now?
You know nothing!
Ishigami: Sure.
Miko: Hah. I wonder what face you’ll make if I told you. That flower of yours, I always knew you were the one who left it!
Ishigami: Bullshit!
Miko: Hah
Ishigami: If that was the case then how come you waited so long to ask me about it? And you were so teary eyed and shocked.
Even if you had suspicions, that’s not the same as knowing all along.
Miko: I knew it all along, I was just in denial.
Ishigami: Yeah right. You are just redacting your memories afterwards to make your role in it seem better. Stop gaslighting yourself.
Miko: HaaaaaaaaH?
Oh yeah. I am sure if the expert of self-gaslighting is saying it, then I should take the diagnosis seriously.
Ishigami: Don’t even dream you can win this game. For example, I know why you picked Prez back then. You knew he was completely locked into Shinomiya so it would never happen. Heck, if you were ever remotely serious, Shinomiya would have kicked you out of the student council long before you even tried.
Miko: Eek.
You’re always putting those two on a pedestal
Ishigami: And I bet that if Shinomiya ever looked at you with paranoid eyes, you’d even make sure to reassure Shinomiya yourself that you support them.
Miko: You have a problem.
High school ended a while back. We are all just adults of roughly the same age now, like it or not, we are equals now.
Ishigami: Ugh.
Miko: Is that why you want to get to his company so much?
You even changed to a ridiculous program and you no longer have time for anything. Can’t even have fun with me anymore.
Ishigami: No... It’s not that.
Miko: I’ll let you know that since you can’t go to parties with me I constantly have dudes trying to get me drunk. Haha.
Ishigami (seething): [...]
Miko: They are the ones who end up passing out, though.
Ishigami: You’re an idiot, it doesn’t matter if you have good alcohol resistance, that’s not the only risk.
Miko: Huh? I’m always paying attention to my glass. I’m too smart for that.
Ishigami: Agh, You are impossible to reason with.
Miko: Damn right, I’m impossible.
Ishigami: [...]
Miko: [...]
Ishigami: It’s not that.
Miko: Huh?
Ishigami: It’s the money.
Miko: Really? So shallow.
Ishigami: I’m serious. My original plan was to go with the flower shop, but that is only barely good for breaking even. It’s not my fault that W- I will need more money.
Miko: What the.. Is this all about me deciding to be a Defense Attorney!?
There’s far less money there than in a more normal Lawyer path. But you could say it upfront.
Ishigami: No. You have to stay on that path.
I’m the one that has to change.
Miko: Idiot. You decided to do all of that on your own without talking it out.
You’ll miss out on other solutions if you keep doing this on your own.
It’s just like that keychain.
Ishigami: I thought we were done trying to pretend we knew how the other was in high school... As if you had any idea what was in my head when I gave you that.
Miko: Do you ?
Ishigami: Smartass.
Why do you only ever talk about this stuff when you are drunk?
Miko: Ooh? But I thought I’m always drunk? Or what?
Ishigami: [...]
Wait a minute.
Is this all because I called you an Alcoholic? Is that why you’ve been starting drama?
Miko: !
Ishigami: Since when are you so thin skinned?
Miko: You called me that in front of everyone!
Ishigami: Huh? I thought I was the one putting them on a pedestal!
Miko: They are still my friends!
They trust you, you know. They still don’t know you are a jackass.
Ishigami: Hey, in my defense, you are the one who was already drunk when you arrived at the party.
Miko: That’s because the farewell party was scheduled long before your beloved “Acchan” announced she was coming here. It’s not like I can just skip it!
She was looking at me weird and judging all night. What did you even tell her?
Ishigami: Okay okay.
I am sorry.
Miko: Good, you should be.
Ishigami: [...]
Miko: Hey..
Since we made up... Shall we make it official?
Ishigami: Nah. I’m exhausted and you’re drunk.
Miko: As If I didn’t know you find that hot.
Ishigami: But seriously It was a very long night. And you just got in bed so you’ll pass out soon.
We can do it tomorrow after breakfast.
Miko: Ah, maybe you are right.
Good night, Ishigami.
Ishigami: Good night, Iino.
Miko: Come again? Didn’t we talk about that?
Ishigami: ... Good night, Miko.
Miko: Good boy.
A good breakfast is a good idea. We can relax a-
zzZ zzZ zzZ
Ishigami (Monologue): That’s this idiot for you. She’s still not used to beds so the instant she feels that comfort she falls asleep immediately. I guess in a way, that makes her lucky.

[...]
Agh, I can’t sleep.
Better go to the kitchen and grab a glass of water...
Miko (half-dreaming) (holding his arm): Please don’t leave me...
Ishigami (M): [...]
I guess I don’t really have to go.
