Do you know what "love" is?

Eh what's this all of a sudden! Someone on your mind?!

No...

Though it was about one year ago,

The admiral said "I might be in love with you, Haruna" to me.

T-t-then?

I was unsure of what would be the right thing to do...I didn't quite understand what the admiral said then, so I just left it as it is...

That means you didn't become lovers?

...yes...
