Itachi: Hello, Kaga-kun.

Kaga: Hello, Itachi-kun.

Tsuruzo, from the distance: Oh, they fucking.

Budo, standing next to him: What? They’re just saying hi to each other.

Itachi: How are you today?

Kaga: I’m doing well, how about you?

Tsuruzo: Oh, they FUCKING! Look at them sparks!

Budo: They’re just... they’re just saying hi to each other.

Itachi: Kaga-kun, there is no one I trust more than you.

Kaga: I’m glad to hear it, Itachi-kun. You are a very important person to me.

Budo, softly: Oh, they fucking.

Tsuruzo, incredibly enthusiastic: OH, THEY FAWKIN-

“You know, I’ve been thinking.”

Tsuruzo raises his eyebrows, feigning surprise. “You? That’s new.”

Itachi laughs and playfully shoves him. “You’re an asshole, you know that?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Tsuruzo giggles. “But seriously, what about?”

Itachi’s gaze goes back to the pool, where their friends are hanging out. He sees Gema splash Budo with water, the latter immediately swimming after him to get his revenge. He sees Shoku talk about something with Miyuji, and Geiju listening to them intently. Kaga and Megami are talking amongst themselves on the side.

Tsuruzo follows Itachi’s gaze and smiles, but he doesn’t say anything, instead allowing Itachi to point his finger to Kaga and say:

“Him.”
