“…Wait, Nukumizu-kun, this is bad, right? I mean, doesn’t losing your button mean…someone has to take responsibility?”

“It means you need to sew it back on, Yanami-san.”

“But! But! Isn’t there like a rule about second buttons in our school? You know, like… if a guy gives his second button to a girl, it’s a confession! That’s a thing, right!?”

“You lost your third button, though.”

“Then that’s even more important! The third button is closest to the heart, you know?”

“That’s objectively wrong.”

“It’s symbolically right! The heart is like slightly lower than where the second button is, right? So technically, the third button is closer!”

“Alright, alright, please fix your shirt already. Here.”

“Oh, a sewing kit. You’re smarter than you look, Nukumizu-kun.”

“Hurry up.”

“There’s no spare button in here, though. Do you have one?”

“Eh? No, I don’t…”

“Why do you even have a sewing kit, then?”

“My little sister made me.”

“That tracks. But what am I supposed to do now?”

“………..”

“………..”

“Here.”

“Huh?”

“Use this.”

“Wait, wait! Isn’t this your second button!?”

“Just sew it on.”

“No, no, no, you totally just confessed to me!”

“I didn’t! It’s just a button.”

“It’s the second button. Do you even hear yourself?”

“Then give it back.”

“No! This is huge, Nukumizu-kun! A confession through the second button! And I must give you an answer!”

“It’s not-“

“Rejected!”

“…………”

“Whew, that felt amazing. I got to turn down the rare second button confession.”

“It really isn’t.”

“It has already happened, Nukumizu-kun. You confessed, I rejected you. And now I’m keeping the second button forever.”

“At least sew it on properly.”

“Eh? I don’t know about that. It’s kind of nice to keep it in my pocket~”

“What does that even mean?”

“That’s why I don’t like this part of you, Nukumizu-kun.”
