Maki is hanging out with Shuichi in the courtyard.
Maki: ...You look like you want to ask something. Shuichi: I do? Maki: Well, whatever. I told you to pretend like you didn't hear anything... but I can't take back what I said. Shuichi: ... Maki: You're wondering who that girl is, right? She was a close friend from the orphanage. Shuichi: A close friend... Maki: Why do you look so relieved? Shuichi: Ah, I do? Maki: Yeah, you do. It's gross.
[...]
Shuichi: I'm just glad that... you have a friend like that in your life. Maki: Hmm... I see. So that's why you're making a gross face. Back at the orphanage, I was a normal kid.
[Maki seems a little annoyed.]
Shuichi: I-I'm sorry... Maki: It's fine. Shuichi: Then, what did you mean when you said she would take your place? Maki: ...The scouts had their eyes on her first, not me. Shuichi: What? Maki: I had enough talent, but she had even more talent. She was very kind. A crybaby who easily got lonely, but tried to be strong... If she had been taken to such a place, then she would've lived her life crying forever. That's why... I volunteered to go. At the time, I had no idea what was in store for me as an assassin... But I endured the training. If she had gone through this, she would've died. That's why... I was so desperate to do my best.
[Shuichi looks saddened.]
Maki: ...Being with her was really fun. We would wear matching outfits, bake sweets and exchange them... We would get in trouble with our teacher because we would talk late into the night. We played House often with the other kids at the orphanage. She would play as the mom, and I would play as the dad. Well, neither of us knew our parents so the only thing we could do was imagine it.
[Dialogue choice! We are going with...]
Shuichi: That's surprisingly cute. Maki: Wh-What are you saying...? Don't say things like cute. That kind of thing doesn't exist in my heart. Shuichi: No, I really think so. I'm sure you would make a good "dad." Maki: Sh-Shut up! Stop imagining whatever it is you're thinking!
