I-I see... so you were thinking about that...

...you know, Shimakaze...

How do I put it...

It's true that just saying, "Hey, be my friend!" sounds a bit weird...

But nobody will get mad or suspicious at you just because you said that.

Words, after all, are just there to open the way.

For you, who always get so weirdly worked up all the time,

I'll listen to anything you say,

no matter what it may be.
