[ Finding out. Okay. So it's like having a hypothesis and testing it out by introducing several factors to it and if the hypothesis doesn't hold water, then it's not as though anything necessarily changes. So the hypothesis is... what? Robby being able to handle her in a context that isn't exactly friendship? Tsuruno figuring out her feelings regarding the guy who whapped her with a milk bottle a few months ago?
Is she worried about this? A subtle shifting doesn't mean anything fundamental has to change. Robby just said it himself, that he won't regret it. If she thinks--no, if they think it doesn't feel right, their friendship shouldn't have to fragment.
There's a lot to think about, but maybe it doesn't have to be right now. It's hard to think when Robby's right there anyway and they're gazing at each other and this is probably all her fault for initiating this in the first place, but--
What happens if this does feel right and that doesn't change? What's past the stability of friendship?

Tsuruno takes a breath. Later. ]
I do want to. Find out, I mean.
[ Right, her tone answers. ]
