Going to join the protest?

It was different before Yuuko-san died . . . and before Watanuki-kun took over the shop. He was the one to watch over him. But Watanuki-kun's made his choice to live out the rest of his life there, waiting for her to come back. And now Doumeki-kun has made his choice to leave and watch over Vesalius-san.

...

[What do I even say?]

[brokenclover]

[leans against him :(]

I told him I wouldn't ask him to stay. I don't have that right.

[putyaswordson]

[ wraps his arms around her, but he still remains silent ]

[brokenclover]

I'm sorry. This is probably pretty weird for you.

[putyaswordson]

... I just don't want you to be alone.

[brokenclover]

Thank you.

[putyaswordson]

[But I... I can't... I knew this would happen.]

[ leans back and looks at her. into her eyes. ]

[brokenclover]

. . . What is it?

[putyaswordson]

[...]

Nothing. I don't really know... what to say in a situation like this. I just... hope the time you have with him now is well-spent.

[brokenclover]

[smiles a little at that]

I think what you just said is perfectly fine.

[putyaswordson]

[ smiles back and leans in, murmuring against her ear as he hugs her: ]

I love you.

[brokenclover]

[hugs him back, tightly]

I love you, too.
