Interlude 2The Gap Between Kiyosato and Ordinary People
─The fourth gondola from here.
"Oh, I see. So that's how it is. Now I understand everything."
"I'm so sorry.... I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."
"Oh, it's okay, it’s not Miharu-chan's fault. Yeah, it was unavoidable, wasn't it?"
"..."
"So, is that what you wanted to talk about?"
"…Eh, no. It's like this…"
"Huh?"
"Mitaka, I mean. Looking ahead… …what do you plan to do with Mei?"
"…, Oh, sorry. I don't understand what you mean."
"You don't need to pretend. I already know, though."
"…Is it that obvious that I'm like this? Asahi said the same thing to me yesterday…"
"Eh… …what did Ōmori-kun say?"
"No, Asahi said, 'Are you content to just be friends forever?'"
"So what did you say?"
"Oh, I was just dodging the question back then. Then Asahi started saying, 'Go ahead if you want to do that, but I'm going to do what I want too,' something like that."
"…!"
"Sometimes Asahi is hard to understand… ...and when you ask him, he won't answer."
"…Mitaka, you."
"?"
"Actually, y'know—"
─.
"—Really? Wait, is all of that true?"
"…Yeah."
"Really… …So that's why Ōmori-kun did something like that…"
"So, will you help me? I'll help you too, y'know."
"Oh, um... ...well, I'd be happy if you'd help me. But in a situation like this—"
"I know."
"—"
"I do know, but... ...I can't keep going on like this."
"…Miharu-chan."
"I'm sorry… …I'm really hopeless, aren't I?"
"No, not at all. I understand how you feel, so it can't be helped."
"In that case─."
"…You're right. It is frustrating, but Asahi is right. It's better to stay calm and obedient like this than to make a fuss. Okay, I've made up my mind!"
"…I'm sorry… …Really, I'm sorry…"
"Oh, don't say that. Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."
"…"
"Besides… …I guess it's just normal to speak so freely, isn't it─."

─The sixth gondola from here.
"But, yeah. Kiyosato is always acting like she"s the boss wherever he goes. Like she's so full of herself."
"Huh, really? I don't think so..."
"Wow, what's wrong with you? Did you get the wrong idea from hanging out with Kiyosato so much?"
"You're so easy to fool. Just because Kiyosato asked to exchange contact info, you fell for her right away?"
"Th-That's not true! It's just that Kiyosato isn't that bad, I mean..."
"Listen to me, okay… …Kiyosato is definitely just putting on an act. Isn't there a rumor that she used to be a child star?"
"No, Kiyosato's a magazine model. I’ve seen her featured with a tagline like 'Angel on the Street Corner'."
"Besides, a national-level beauty like that would never want to talk to us ordinary people, right? Our worlds are totally different, aren't they?"
"…Well, if you put it that way…"
"Besides, Kiyosato's probably just trying to score points. Just look at how she is surrounded by handsome boys—it's obvious, I mean…"
"So, Kiyosato's got this totally average girl by his side just to make herself look cooler, right? The girl's really just being used as a prop, isn't she?"
"Oh, that's why they look so mismatched... ...If that's the case, it's just impossible."
"—Well, but what do you think? Kiyosato's going to get a bitter comeuppance, isn't she?"
"Eh, Ririko, you're creepy. What's the deal? Are you trying to teach Kiyosato a lesson behind her back or something?”
"No way. I'm not the kind of mean girl with a twisted mind. There's no way I'd do something so blatant that it ruins my own future."
"So, what do you mean…?"
"I mean, isn't it true that angels, who live in a different world from ordinary humans, can't possibly be together?"
