"Valentines"... [Huh. No, he's never heard of it -- not that it's terribly surprising. Dahna wasn't exactly known for an abundance of holidays, though it's possible they had more before the occupation.

It sounds sweet, but he can't help nodding faintly at what Mizuki says, either.]

Sounds like it's a reminder of something people aren't supposed to forget in the first place. If you care about someone, you should be able to tell them whenever you feel like it, not just on a specific day.

[Not that he has experience romantically-speaking, but he is a man full of shonen speeches about friendship. Declaring his dedication to people he cares about is kind of his whole thing.]
