[ He's finished changing already, being much faster in comparison to his girlfriend as he chances a glance back over his shoulder. Not to take a peek, but as a more natural look to see how she was doing. If she wasn't ready yet, he'd just go right back to staring at the wall! But seeing her finished up, bunching her other dress more tight in her hands, she asks him... Has Ayato said anything? Well, yes, he has. But nothing that would have expedited his own train of thought. What Ayato had said prior was about the choice Cloud needed to make. If he can't have both; if he can't return to Gaia and finish his own story without leaving Ayaka behind, where would he go?

His choice was with a heavy heart. But he also knew where it belonged now. But that was also the worst case scenario. He wouldn't think like that, only that the hard choice would be made if it needed to happen. But at first, he holds to his silence when Ayaka continues to speak. Of how she and her brother have discussed the fate of the Kamisato Clan. The fate of Ayato's own blossoming feelings. Feelings that leave both the Yashiro Commission and the Kamisato Clan treading thinner ice. Would they have a successor?

I kinda figured it'd come down to us. [ As in...Ayaka and Cloud? To continue on? ] If it means everyone's happy.
