[When Kano's grip loosens, Yuya takes the chance to wind their fingers together, as they've done plenty of times now, and cradles both his hands gently around Kano's. If he knew she sacrificed herself for him, Yuya might agree that maybe she really did love him.

But that's not really what matters, anyway, her feelings. What matters is that Kano loved her and was met with pain. All of it was pain.]

... It's the same for you, you know. If you really didn't want to be hurt, you could push me away. You could push everyone away. But you don't. You just hide.

[There's no real, active effort from Kano even after the daemon, even after he so clearly wounded Yuya and hurt over Yuya and Yuya made him face that. He still asked to be forgiven. He still lets Yuya follow.

He doesn't let go.

Yuya smiles, a little bit pained, even though he knows Kano isn't looking.] So even if your afraid it'll hurt... don't you also want to be loved?
