I was afraid

"I understand it was primarily my fault for not understanding what you were going through. And I won't make excuses. You were right. I neglected you then. However, if there was a problem, Rikka. Why didn't you talk to me? I know I'm very clumsy with words and everything. I know I'm not good at expressing what I'm thinking. But if you had a problem. I would have listened to you."

She knows that very well. Of course, she did. Even if Haruka started acting strange and neglecting her, Rikka knew if she honestly spoke to him, he would have listened to her. "I was afraid that you'd choose her over me."

A deep sigh escaped Haruka's lips. "I'm not that unreasonable. Yes, I love Lila a lot, even when we dated. I still liked her. However, I was falling for you, Rikka. I was getting there."

She knew that too.
