Sora, I've never really loved anyone not like - romantically. [She loved her band, obviously, and she loved Sora, too.] And that's fine, I've never felt as if I missed out on anything! I'm really busy and sure, I'm gorgeous [Such modesty. Much humility.] but I'm still really difficult to handle. I'm not confident enough and I'm not sure I could ever let anyone be more important than music.
[That's all just a setup for what counts, though:] But when I saw all of that and felt it? I can't help thinking that's what being in love is supposed to feel like. And it's not like I want that now, it feels like I know I was in love at some point but now they're just ... Gone. There was someone, and we were outside together and I kept hearing bells, but I don't know who it was. I couldn't even see their face.
