"Well," Itsuki kept his eyes on the food, looking a bit sheepish. "I was thinkin', you and I have been roommates for a couple of months, right? But all this time it's just been more like... you and me, living apart, just in the same space, if it makes any sense. You have your things to do and I do mine, and I guess we get along well enough..."

He paused. "But since the magic came around, I felt like it was getting a bit harder to do that... and even if we're just barely roommates, I thought I'd try to fix that. It's not like I want you to be uncomfortable, for one thing. And... well, wouldn't want to ruin things for the one fella from school that talks to me."
