"Outro" is basically the end of a scene leading on to the next one. Kind of the opposite of an "Intro". :)

Nokoru refers to an event in their college years - a certain argument about lemons in dry martinis that has been referenced before. Basically, there are two main recipes for dry martinis, both of which can be served either with a slice of lemon on the rim, a piece of lemon (or lemon peel) in, or without any lemon at all. However, there's a long lasting argument, which variant is a _real_ dry martini (and which isn't). Given that the basic recipe is somewhere between 16 and 20 vol. per cent of alcohol content and there are 8 variants... *eg*
They might have found a solution, but they certainly weren't in a condition to remember it (and the next three days prevented them from ever repeating the experiment *eg*).

Hmm, I have to pay more attention to these snippets next time I reread, then. I just hope Subaru never gets to experience a hung over Seishirou,that's probably the scariest thing in Japan. XD

Thanks for the explanation, the word threw me off the first time I saw it because it means another or other in Portuguese, and that made no sense. I had never seen it before in English, glad to learn a new word. :)

I'm not sure "outro" is a proper word. It's just something that came to mind when describing the opposite of an intro. I admit, I never checked whether or not it exists. :)

Actually, the "morning after the argument with the dry martinis" was mentioned in chapter 16, but it's just a made up background detail kept in mind for continuity.
