He wasn't supposed to be perfect.
Subaru was a one hundred percent dork to the core. Dorks were supposed to be as far from perfect as you could get. Dork, as a title, implies imperfection.
He wasn't supposed to spend all of his Christmas and New Year's money on me. He wasn't supposed to waste his time getting together five sets of Rare Bears, ten in each set, just so I would pass entrance exams. And now that I think about it, I was trying to pass the entrance exams to his school. He could have just encouraged me to study. He didn't have to be perfect.
Ten Rare Bears are a full set. Each set of ten allows for one wish. Ten for just one measly wish.
But Subaru didn't want me to have just one wish. So he gave me five. For Valentine's Day, from the boy who I wasn't sure even gave a damn about me, I received fifty Rare Bears.
Ten Rare Bears to forgive him.
Forty more to succeed on my exams.
And although he doesn't know it, I didn't use all four sets left over on my exams. In fact, I used the final set of ten on something a little more important to me.
Just between you and me, I used the power of ten Rare Bears to wish that he would kiss me again.
