...But you are one.

[ Again, point-blank. ]

Whenever I need to talk to you, you listen, even if you think you can't help much or even if you think I'm being silly. You hear me out all the same, and you try to give advice. I think you'd do that no matter when I called, or about what. For my birthday, you...you're part of the reason everyone played nice, right? You asked them to, I bet.

And you look out for us, even if you're sometimes a little clumsy about it...even back in the game. You checked on Owari, and you offered to go with Hinata before the third trial, to that place, and...although you were bad about saying what you wanted or felt, I think your actions were the important thing, and those always very clearly showed what you meant. You never stopped trying to help get us all out, no matter what.

You've always been there for all of us when we needed it, and that hasn't changed here...And there's lots more besides that.

Doesn't all of that make it obvious that you're a good friend? It's not...like I'm saying something that hasn't always been there...
