Nothing is easy when it comes to people, Raina. Holding them at arm's length or keeping them close. But... whether or not you understand, that's a struggle I'm willing to go through for you. And... I'm really glad to hear it does go both ways.

...I mean. I knew, or at least, I wanted to believe that. But it never hurts to hear it.

Hey, now. I'm not going to judge you over a couple tears. What are loved ones for if not picking you back up when you're down?

[...Oh, hey.]

"Himeko," huh? That was her first name?
