"True, how bad could someone from the Doma Family be? Sougo Doma couldn't argue with that, so all he could say was, 'Not being bad doesn't mean we're right for each other...'"
"Hm?" But he'd barely started speaking when Haruno Yukinoshita cut in. "You won't know whether you're right for each other until you try. Or is it that you don't actually have any feelings for Yukino?"

"Oh, my..." Of course, Haruno wouldn't admit to it. "What are you all talking about?"
Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."
Playing dumb again...
