It's okay. I... know better than to force something out that someone doesn't wanna give. [haha... pained expression aside]
All I can do is what I feel is right. And if it helps you, then I don't want to have to hide what Goat-san said. I trust Goat-san, and I feel we're fighting for similar things, but... you said you'd only trust them for now. I hope we can believe in them a little more than that, but you deserve time to make that choice for yourself.
...
You said you'd never been a brother before, right?

Umi-chan and Fuu-chan, they're kind of like my sisters, but... I... think it might be nice, to have a brother, too.

(Ah, this feels wrong. He's sorry. Whoever they are, he's so sorry.)
I'll do my best, Hikaru.
(He'll look out for her. He promises.)

I'll do my best for you, too... Onii-chan.
