[ Hien quietly sighs and then looks down at the water and then at Itaru. ]

I think you're a nice guy, Itaru. You helped me when I needed it and guided me along. I have like almost 10 ribbons now, and probably wouldn't have gotten this far if I never found my footing in the first place, so I'm grateful.

But to me, Fai is an important friend of mine. I want him to be happy, so I only ask... that you don't lead him on if your feelings aren't there.

[ See? No threats. ]
