"It was really nice of you to help me with this, Kurosu. Most boys wouldn't want to help a girl pick out a gift for another boy."
The transfer student smiles, managing to look sincere despite his overall shifty appearance.
"That's because other boys are doing it wrong. Seeing other boys and girls form happy couples encourages all of the rest to take their own shots at it. There are equal numbers of boys and girls on average, so if enough people believe that there is someone for everyone... then eventually there actually will be."
"Is that why you're so supportive of everyone's dreams? Is that... your dream?"
"Nah, that's actually more of a hobby. My dream is to meet the Thousand Breaker and give him a good thrashing."
"Your dream is beating someone up?"
"I've got a good reason!" Kurosu insists. "Anyhow, that guy disappeared years ago. I don't even know what he looks like, so you don't need to worry about it."
"If you say so..." Haruka frowns. "I still think you should find something less violent to- Kanata!"
"Kanata?"
As Kurosu look on with confusion, Haruka runs across the park toward a young man with uniquely bright hair. He follows, walking. She has already handed over her gift by the time Kurosu catches up.
"Let me introduce you! Kanata, this is Kurosu. He transferred into Noble Academy just a few days ago. And Kurosu, this is Kanata. He's Towa's big brother!"
Kanata extends his hand for a handshake.
"That would make you... Akagi Kanata, wouldn't it?" Kurosu takes Kanata's hand with an exceedingly firm grip. "You used to live near Hopeland Elementary School. There still isn't any girl there who will trust any boy, because of you! How dare you break so many hearts, you Thousand Breaker?!"
