And on top of that,
Right after that, I did one more.
I drew Current Nadeko as a character and turned her three-dimensional.

You were the one who was most at risk here. There's no doubt about that.
You were the one who was most at risk here. There's no two ways about it.

She put value in your calmness when dealing with trouble.
