Sora didn't bite back his own laughter.
"She is clearly insane, and could do much better, but... if it's what she wants? A brave, beautiful, dedicated woman who shares my passions can be forgiven some bad taste in men."

Shinsei was quiet for a moment, but ultimately let out a low chuckle. "I do not think she has poor tastes, Sora. Confusing motivations certainly, but she could do far worse in her romantic pursuits. I don't see a bird on your shoulder, for instance."

He sighed, looked down at his hands.
"And I know she'll tell me the truth, not just what she thinks I want to hear."

"Yes, she would. So long as you ask the right questions, I'm certain she'd tell you everything." He tilted his head to one side. "This is something you value greatly, I take it?"
