His words trailed into an endless list of possibilities, but if there was a chance of them taking her from what she could believed them to be, hoped for them to be --but then, whatever she hoped or wished it to be was meaningless in the end, wasn't it...?
No... No, it wasn't. After Rokkaku, with Rokkaku, ever since the war three years ago... this feeling had always been with her, never weakening. So if she could just have this, if she could let herself believe, even pretend. Pretend it was more than her wishes or what she wanted to believe; to gather up the courage to let down her guard and and to challenge her fear of what his words may be and the fear of reality.]
... I do, too...
[There was no strength in her to say the words she wanted, and she felt her face come closer to his chest after saying them. Please, please... Her heart was beating so hard.
Just this one time, just once. While duty was so far away and she could admit what she felt.
Because no matter what, her heart would always remember this.]
