He finds he can't use the same excuse anymore, not during Kurosagi. Horikita is no longer just a young girl. Instead, the Kame-like voice in his head chants, but now she's just a friend, just a friend. If even that.
But it comes true over the course of filming, and somehow, he becomes afraid of losing something.
He calls her Maki-chan. And in turn, she smiles with glittering eyes and says, Yamashita-kun.
(He's afraid of losing this.)

Filming ends and he has no excuse to see her anymore; he has her number, but has no excuse to call her. She surprises him with a call months later, as the leaves begin to fall.
Yamashita-kun, I heard about your role in Byakkotai. Congratulations! her cheerful voice echoes in his ear. It takes him a moment, but his lips curl as he replies, Oh. Thanks, Maki-chan. How are you?
They talk for hours, about school and work and this and that and he thinks that yes, he's missed this, so achingly and desperately missed this.
Ah, I have to go now. But, can you promise me something, Yamashita-kun?
Anything.
Of course.
Don't touch Meisa-chan. Please.
(And then he realizes: he's already lost.)
