Summary
Analysis
Connor eats breakfast quickly so that he can steal a minute with Risa. They meet in the girls’ bathroom and hold each other in a stall. They kiss and Connor compliments her piano playing. After a minute, Risa slips away, and Connor hears her playing on the roof.
Meeting like this gives the impression that both Connor and Risa have come to terms with the fact that this may be their end, while the positive changes brought on by their relationship show that neither of them has reached their full potential yet.
