Saoji was shocked when Ione stopped in front of the entrance and mentioned if he wanted to go to Henrietta. He blinked a few times, a bit confused at what she was getting at. She seemed a bit disappointed almost and Saoji felt a surge of guilt rushing into his heart. He was letting Ione down again. He hoped she didn't think he was a playboy or anything. After she left, he simply stood there in silence and turned his back to the door. He sighed and knew he had to find the strength to regain his composure. 

_Alright Saoji...you can't let Ione down again. Show confidence and don't be so afraid. Just go in and watch the movie with her._ he thought.

He sighed and entered the dorm building, appearing before her door. On the door it read her room number. He took a huge gulp and knocked on her door twice. 

**"Ione, it's me, Saoji."** he said waiting for her to answer.
