"Impressed"
Rima and Nagihiko were seated in the darkest corner of the coffee shop, the light wavering ever so slightly.
"So if n plus twenty-five equals one hundred seventy, what is n?" Nagihiko asked.
"One hundred forty-five?"
"Good job, Rima!"
Nagihiko was impressed, it seemed that Rima's sour mood had improved. It was their second tutoring succession and it was going swimmingly.
"Now let's try the next one. If k multiplied by seventy and equals one hundred forty, what's k?"
"Two?"
"Yes!"
Rima beamed happily at him, a small smile gracing her face. She was doing absolutely great!
"So, what's next?"

"Peek"
"Alright Rima, all you have to do is finish this worksheet within the twenty minute time limit, by yourself, without any help," Nagihiko said.
"Okay!"
As Rima poured over the Algebra worksheet, Nagihiko pulled out a book and put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses. When Rima finished, she sneaked a peek at Nagihiko.
Is it bad that I think...Nagihiko's cute when he's wearing glasses? she thought. Bad Rima! No weird thoughts!
"Oh, you're done already?"
"Uh, yeah..."
"Awesome Rima! You're doing great! We're done for the day, but would you care to come with me to the Royal Garden?"
"Sure!"

"Nostalgia"
Rima and Nagihiko stopped in front of the Royal Garden, feeling a sense of nostalgia as they stood before the green house.
"Rima-sempai! Nagihiko-senpai!" Hiiragi Rikka exclaimed. "You're back!"
The eight-year-old grinned and hugged the former Guardians. Her Chara, Hotaru, smiled and watched as Rikka introduced Nagihiko and Rima to all of the new Guardians.
"There's Nikki, she's the Ace; Kane's the Jack; and Yori's Joker!"
The three Guardians nodded in the teenagers' direction before returning to their paperwork. Rikka gave Rima and Nagihiko an observing look before asking,
"Rima-sempai? Are you and Nagihiko-senpai together?"
"What? N-No way!" Rima stammered.
