「相葉ちゃんへ
辛い時は必ず言ってください。迷惑がかかるとか思うのはわかるんだけど、みんなも心配するし、あとになってからじゃダメだから。そのためにあと４人いるんだから、体調が悪い時はすぐ言った方がいいよ。相葉ちゃんが言わないなら、俺が先に言います（笑）」
“Dear Aiba-chan,
Please make sure to tell us when things are tough for you. I understand that you don’t want to cause us any trouble, but everyone will worry and things will only get worse if you try to ignore it. That’s why the 4 of us are there for you, so you should really tell us right away when you’re not feeling well. If you won’t, then I’ll say something first (laughs).”

(Note: This was Nino’s message right after Aiba’s lung collapsed in 2002. Just translating it made me teary ;^;)
