Yes. [ Nanami agrees because there's no point denying it. It's rather obvious, even to someone like Nanami, so he can't expect Okkotsu not to get it.

The next line, however, gets a long pause.

He's fairly certain once you die, you don't get new romance. Besides, he isn't interested in finding someone. That's not why he's here. ]

I appreciate your concern, Okkotsu. That isn't something that simply happens on demand or because you want it to. It will happen or it will not.

[ There's a sheepish chuckle on the other end of the line. ]

I didn't mean to make it sound like - a demand, sir. Sorry. I just thought ... it would do you some good.

I know it'll take time, but ... I mean. Just, stay open to it? You deserve good things too, sensei.

Friendship and connections do everyone good. I appreciate each of you that is here and hope to maintain good relations. That will do me some good.

[ It's what he wants, even if it doesn't have the same comfort and all consuming emotions of an epic romance. He's had his romance, and he knows he finds it again in the end. ]

I will consider it.

Of course. If it helps, you seem like an easy guy to get along with, Nanami-sensei.

[ There’s a clear smile in his voice. ]

Please do.

Thank you for all of your help.

[ Those aren't the words he's used to hearing to describe him. Adult, it can be an insult or a compliment. Other ones too. ]

Thank you yourself, Okkotsu. And you're welcome. It's my pleasure.
