Now, we’ll ask you some questions.
Here’s the first one: Ken says that Saki doesn’t know he exists. And Reo answers, “I’ve seen you talking with her.” Why do you think Reo says this?
Why do you think Reo says this?
Riku?
Because he doesn’t agree with Ken.
Hmm. “Because he doesn’t agree with Ken.” Okay. Let’s listen to that part of the dialogue.

So, the question was: Why do you think Reo says, “I’ve seen you talking with her”? And the answer is: He doesn’t agree with Ken. He doesn’t agree with Ken. He thinks Saki knows Ken exists. Good answer, Riku.
Thank you.
Later in the dialogue, Reo says, “Well, how do you know she doesn’t like you?” He thinks that Saki may like Ken.
All right. Everyone, let’s try saying the answer in a full sentence. “Reo says this” “because he doesn’t agree with Ken.”
Good! Now, let’s move on to the next question. First, listen to this.
Okay. So, here’s the question: What does Reo think will happen if Ken doesn’t tell Saki that he likes her?
What does Reo think will happen if Ken doesn’t tell Saki that he likes her?
Riku?
Nothing will happen.
Mmm. Good answer. The question was: What does Reo think will happen if Ken doesn’t tell Saki that he likes her? And one way to answer is: Nothing will happen. Nothing will happen. Reo thinks that if Ken doesn’t do anything, they’ll only be classmates. Ken probably wants to be more than just classmates.
Everyone, try saying the answer in a full sentence. “If Ken doesn’t tell Saki that he likes her,” “nothing will happen.”
Good.
Sometimes it may be easier to express your true feelings to one person than to another person.
Mmm. Right. So, here’s the next question: Who is the easiest person to express your true feelings to?
Who is the easiest person to express your true feelings to?
Riku?
It is my family.
Oh, your family.
You can express your real feelings to your family?
Yes.
That’s nice. You have a good relationship with your family.
Thank you.
You trust each other. That’s great.
