We've only known each other for a couple of years. He's the only one who consistently stays after practice with me to perform more practice, and though we don't always get along, he's come to understand that he can trust me more than anyone.

[ He pushes up his glasses. Notice he's just talking as if Takao is the one having these feelings.. There's so much tsun here it's ridiculous. ]

On my part, he can throw a pass directly into my hands after I've already jumped without disrupting my accuracy, so I don't object to having him follow me around.
