Kazuya is worried a confession is forthcoming, but I knew better.
There was no way Chizuru was going to confess her love to him.
And Kaz seems to be that pillar.
Sure, they worked their butts off all day, but no doubt her words gave him comfort.
Ironically, this time itsChizuruwho is having trouble sleeping, and wasnt really asleep when Kaz came in.
I always love it when we getherinner monologue, and I loved her characterizing this situation as sucking.
Girl both wants and needs to sleep after such a full day.
But somethings keeping her awake and that something is her steadily growing feelings for Kazuya, her pillar.
Chizuru then asks about Mami, but Kaz assumes shes already found someone else.
We know better, but in any case whocaresabout Mami?
Through her pointed yet gentle questioning, its clear to Kaz that Chizuru actually cares and worries about him.
Case in point: when she nods off onto his shoulder while hes expressing his gratitude to her.
That said, its clear from her reaction upon remembering she woke up on Kazuyas shoulder that shes verymuchinterested.
But Ruka remains Kazuyas trial girlfriend until he dumps her, since she has no intention of leaving him.
