It was her

Through some act of divine intervention, Momoko just so happened to be in the garden as well. Ickika didn't put a lot of thought into it. Right now all that mattered to him was the girl who was going to love him was right in front of him...it was almost too overwhelming for him to handle. However he powered through the serge of emotions to regain the cognitive functions of his brain. "It's you..." he whispered. He quickly rushed over to her and grabbed on of her hands "it's finally you" he put the hand he grabbed between both of his. "I've waited...so long to meet you" at this point his voice began to crack. By now, his eyes were starting to water. If it weren't for the giant smile on his face, one might think that he was holding back a wave of sorrow 

"...Your hand...it's so soft and warm" despite having forced his brain to reboot, it still wasn't at 100%. The shear bliss that Ichika was in made it hard to focus on rational thought, so he right now he was being driven by his instincts guided autopilot
