Why indeed

Negi: Actually, i wanted to ask you for something. For...advise.

Misora: Oh. Uh, sure. Whats the problem?

Negi: Its just...Misora, i don't know what to do about all of you girls. I know Nodoka is probably still in love with me, and i know that a few others have crushes on me.

Misora, thinking: Only a few? You don't know the half of it then.

Negi: But...what if i can't choose who i want to be with?

Misora: What do you mean? You're not seriously considering not choosing one of them, are you?

Negi: I don't know.

Misora: Negi-sensei, you can't not choose!!

Negi: But if i chose one, say Nodoka, it would break Ayaka and Makie's hearts! I don't want to hurt them! And if i chose someone other than Nodoka, who knows how she would take it.

Misora: I guess thats true. Bookstore is pretty sensitive, and being turned down by the only guy shes ever been able to talk to, much less her first and probably only love might make her snap. Then again, Ayaka might too. Makie, i don't know that anyone could tell if she went nuts.

Negi: See what i mean!? Either way, two of them go crazy! What if they end up killing someone over it!?

Misora: Any other guy with any other girls, i would tell 'pride is a sin, and you've got it in spades'. In your case, though, its a real possibility.

Negi: What should i do?
