“I think you have a lot of wonderful sides to you.”

“Today, I worked at the Coffee Truck with Kazuto. I was able to accomplish my goal of conveying my feelings.”
He further added:
“I can leave here feeling positive. It doesn't matter if you're staying here for love or friendship. I think there are things you only say because it's here. I hope that all of you guys will cherish this opportunity to convey your feelings, share your thoughts and be happy… and finish your stay here at the Green Room.”
