NEKOI: Watanuki's the type who somehow ends up muddling his way into all-girl events as the only boy there, but that doesn't make him "popular" in the usual sense. He’s the kind of nice guy who’d stop a stranger to offer help carry their bags.

OHKAWA: Watanuki has a mixture of specialties, doesn’t he. If you want someone to cook, or someone to look after things, then you’ll turn to Watanuki.

"You must think she's a fool because she's trying to retrieve for you something you treat like trash."

"You're wrong!"

"I'm not.

"I'm sure there're others, right? Beings that hold you dear.

"You don't understand that and don't take care of yourself.

"You hate to see others get hurt, but you don't mind getting hurt yourself.

"You don't even understand how much you hurt the ones who hold you dear when they see you get hurt.

"I hate these kinds of things.

"Thus, I deny your request."
