Maki's really not sure what's going to happen as Nico leads them back to her room. What if in the time it takes them to get back Nico changes her mind?

Maki thinks she should have a little more confidence in herself.

She sits next to Nico in silence, still waiting for her to take the lead on whatever it is "you liking me doesn't bother me" means.

And when the answer comes Maki tenses instantly. She tries to play it off but she's blushing down to her shoulders. "What? Dating? I didn't say dating? Don't get so ahead of yourself." It's almost like instinct, to respond that way, and she makes an effort to calm. "Besides, I don't know what Nico-chan wants."
