Then I guess... what Shoutarou and I have is love, just.. not the sort I'm used to thinking about.

If you're able to replace someone easily in your life, then they didn't really mean that much, I think. I'd never be able to replace Shoutarou or Akiko or Terui.

In fact, I tried to replace Shoutarou with Terui once and it was just a terrible mistake.
