[Nathan looks at Mikado after he's been told shut up, and:] That's definitely not the same. I don't think he wants to be weird with me. [Because that's what this kind of this registers as, for the young kid. In a way he knows exactly what it is, he'd been given the introductory 'girls like boys and sometimes boys like other boys and girls like other girls too everything was fine either' but had the childish understanding that something else existed beyond the precipice of his given knowledge.
And whatever that was? Well, it was probably an awful lot like what was going on with Nariko and Masaomi. He knew that. It was why he kept looking at the TV even if he was a little embarrassed at (and for) them.]
Honestly, boys are so strange. [That's Nariko's comment, but she doesn't seem to mind him getting any closer to her, though she does notably look him up and down. Is she really going to let him ... Maybe he's just teasing her. Wouldn't she be more like a sister to him or something?]
