As I told you before, two people con-nected by a string are drawn to each other.

We got neighboring seats ‘by a coincidence,’ right?

It's exactly as I thought …!

So

No, that was just because you didn't pay attention.

Yeah, pretty much. .

Once those ‘coincidences’ have become numerous,

it must have been the string's fault that I switched…

people get intimate, start caring about one another.

This string is here to push us closer together

until we fall in love. .

Is this… .

‘the string's whim’? .

Yes. .
