No way man, it's totally a different direction on the path of attraction! It's like how in girls, "cute," "beautiful," and "erotic" are all different branches! [He began this as an anecdote. It is now a rant. In fact, his fingers are going up and pointing at an imaginary chalkboard in the air next to him] Like, for example, let's take Kaori-chan. Do you know Kaori-chan? ...Noooo, probably not, okay! Take her! [And he points to another girl in the plaza. Presumably Anise or some other loli] See her?! She's suuper cute, the sort of guy a guy's liable to get cavities from, but is she beautiful? Maaaaaybe, but the appeals in the boundless energy and adorable gestures, not in the nuances of the supple body, the shape of the eyes, or the maturity of the spirit! Does that make her less? No sir, she's got maximized cuteness stats!

[...He has much more to say. Richard can stop him here if he wants. But there is more]
