You're you and Momota-kun is Momota-kun. It's not that you can't compare to him, rather the bond I have with him and the one I have with you are two completely different things.

[I'm sorry, were you trying to keep this conversation light and silly? Guess that's yet another hope and/or dream dashed because Shuichi has more serious intentions in mind.]

I wouldn't want you to try and be Momota-kun instead of being yourself.
