Eventually we will be fighting side by side, I know it. We just have to get you used to thinking about how your gun can actually shoot things, right? Right!
[Ah, but the mood changed rather suddenly. For the better it seems. While he did succeed in making her giggle, her attention has really gone back to their hands. When did she start feeling so comfortable with Hinata? When did she allow someone to impact her heart like this. Sugimura broke her in many ways— her trust for men, her trust for relationships. Haru wasn't so easy to open her heart.]
Don't feel like I won't return your feelings, Hajime.

But she can now see that this is what Ryuji meant by "Do you think you could be the lucky one". She certainly does feel lucky.]
I'm afraid you will have to be patient with me, though. I want to return your feelings genuinely, freely, and without reservations with myself. I want to be honest about why I am apprehensive.
[She squeezes his hand between hers, the blush on her face says that she really is glad that Hajime got that off of his chest. She seems just as relieved.]
