Uh, maybe? That's something you'd have to talk with Ange, I guess.

[Oh right, the age gap. Honestly, he's pretty sure Ange is going to say no for that reason alone, but not his responsibility to burst this. He wants to be encouraging!]

Hmm, from this evidence alone... I think you do have a crush! When I started developing feelings for Kotone, I felt the same way. Wanting to hold her hand, spending the entire day with her, making her happy. Whenever she smiled at me, I felt my heart beat faster.

...

It seems like I do. Which makes me wonder what I should do about it.

[On the one hand, he also knows he can't bottle things up. It wouldn't do him any good. On the other, he wasn't even sure how she would react to it and what he should do afterwards too....]

[laserguy]

Tell her, obviously.

......What if I don't want to? What would she even say?

[laserguy]

[Okay, he's going to be a little more serious.]

It's better to just get it out in the open.

You know, especially with how crazy things can get around here. Or how any of us can go home without warning, you know? Even if she might say 'no,' it's better to have an answer than none at all.

[whatsamada]

I suppose so.

It's still not something I really want to talk about. I haven't even said any of this to Kotone-san.

[laserguy]

I know man, it's hard at first. But I definitely would've regretted it if I never told Kotone how I felt.

Speaking of which, did you want me to tell her about this?

[whatsamada]

...Perhaps it would be best if I told her.

I just know that I'm still struggling with how to feel about this. I never dealt with having a crush before until now........

[laserguy]

Have a crush is difficult, can't really get around that.

Maybe spend some more time with her? You don't have to confess right away, but uh, just don't forget where we're at and everything.

[whatsamada]

Don't worry, I won't.

...I'm just really nervous what will happen if I tell her. I wonder if she would still want to be my friend if I do...

[laserguy]

Why wouldn't she? Just don't be weird about it afterward and it'll be cool.

[whatsamada]

If you say so.

...Thanks, I really appreciate you helping me out.

[laserguy]

No problem, man.

Tell me how it goes when you finally get the courage to confess.
