[Yuuto laughs nervously, lifting his hands to cover his heart— Specifically, his Rumor. Thinking about everything he’s learned about Inaba and everything they’ve done and said- The pictures they took, the things they bought, the wishes they made at Watanagashi… There are so many memories that can’t be wiped away. So many smiles that he can’t forget.

Yeah. I love her so much. That’s part of me now.

[Ryoko seems worried about him not coming back. Maybe too worried, even. He reaches out blindly for her hand, clumsy in his effort to take it.]

Mm. I won’t really be gone, right? I have a lot of love inside of me now… And I have to come back. Some people here want to go home.

I was being dramatic earlier, but… [Yuuto looks down at his other hand, as he tries to guard his ruined soul.] I do have a way to create a miracle in an instant. I always looked at this as a curse, but maybe it’s both. I could be both.
