Aiko then talks to Takeshi in their Japanese language, "you.do know we are Rei's favorites right?". Takeshi's enthusiasm surges as Aiko reminds him of Rei's favoritism towards them. With a grin stretching across his face, Takeshi lets out a hearty laugh, his voice echoing through the training grounds. Emboldened by Rei's praise, he stands tall, a newfound confidence radiating from his every movement.
"It's probably because I'm handsome and funny right?" Aiko looks at Takeshi, disappointment on his face. But then forgets about what he said.

Together, they exchange a triumphant glance, a silent acknowledgment of their shared determination to live up to Rei's expectations and prove themselves worthy of her favor.
