I've had my eye on you for the longest time, and the school idol competition was the tipping point. To be honest, I felt bad about my feelings because I figured you and Ryuuji were a pair. Remember when people started clapping for you? Yeah, that was me who started it. Also, true to his gangster roots, Ryuuji broke my leg before the race so that he could win the dance with you.

Really, he's a cruel man when he's not around you.

We could be really happy together. For one thing, it's pretty easy to take care of you. I enjoy cooking and cleaning -- not to the freakish extent that Ryuuji does -- and I manage to pull it all off with a masculine flair. I'll show you some of the most delectable treats of Western cooking. 

Don't you envy Western women's assets? Perhaps learning more about the land across the Pacific and indulging in their culture will allow you to reap the benefits of a fuller chest.

H-hey! I'm not saying I don't like you the way you are, but I remember that pool incident. Personally, I think you're cute as you are. There's something to be said about petite girls like you. After all, you're a rare breed to be able to maintain such a great figure.

So, be proud of yourself. You may have all these doubts about yourself, but you can't let them hold you back. Sure, you've been stuck in some bad situations thanks to your family affairs, and it's not like the classroom has been the most fostering environment for you, but I don't care about any of that.

I accept you for who you are. Your faults and your quirks are just another part of you. Something that I care about as equally as your loving personality deep down inside and your incredible strength.

I just want to see you smile. For me.

Taiga, I can promise that I'm never going to give you up, I'll never let you down. I'm not going run around and then desert you. I'll never make you cry, nor will I say goodbye. I'm never going to tell a lie and hurt you.

Taiga, I love you. Will you be mine?
