You help all those people out because you're kind enough to do so, other people aren't, that's a REAALLY good quality trait in my book! You want to help them because you just want to, you don't like to see 'em sad or glum at all! You do it out of the warmth and love in your heart!"
She gets closer to you, "That's real heroism!" she declares, poking your nose as if to "cement" it into your brain. You roll your eyes, still feeling angst-y, with pain and suffering crawling in your skin, "Yeah well, I don't feel like a hero... I feel more like a sucker..."
Shauna gently takes your hand into her's, "I think you're a hero, Calem, I really do...~ You're a good friend you know that?~"
You nod, and she lets out a small giggle. A faint blush then covers her cheeks, she's still holding onto your hand. Fireworks continue to explode in the background.
"B-But..." Shauna looks down at the bond between your hand and her's, the blush deepening ever so quickly, "If I don't take the initiative now, I'll never have the opportunity again."
"What do you mean?" you ask, still embraced by that typical animu MC denseness.
