I can somewhat understand Illness-sanās worries, but I donāt think weāve quite gotten to the main point yet. This consultation was originally supposed to be about not being able to articulate her feelings, right? From what Iāve heard so far, it seems like she can articulate her feelings just fine, and they come across clearly to me.
[ā¦ā¦Illness-san, are you worried about not being able to articulate your feelings?]
[Yeees. In my miiiiiind, I understand what Iām feeling and what outcome I want it to haaaaaveā¦ā¦ but itās difficult to express that in woooooords. No, perhaaaaps, Iām feeling hesitaaaaant. I might be afraid of saying words that coooooould significantly change the environment that Iāve been certain about until noooooow.]
[I understand that feeling. Itās scary to think that the comfortable relationship we have now might changeā¦ā¦]
This feels nearly like a confession. Well, if someone said the flow of this conversation so far is already like a confession, theyād be rightā¦ā¦ but from Illness-sanās perspective, loving me, or rather, being devoted to me is a given without any hesitation, but when it comes to seeking something for herself, she seems very hesitant.
[Thatās riiiiight. Even thoooough the goal is clear to me, I canāt seem to clearly envision the path to get theeeeere. But at the same tiiiiiime, I do want to come up with my own answeeeeer. Although Iām feeling really hesitaaaaant, this is definitely what I wanteeeeedā¦ā¦ What I want for myseeeelf, how I want the future to be liiiiike, I want to thoroughly think about this and come up with an answeeeeer.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ So, consulting with me this time was to get some reference for your thoughts?]
With an unusually puzzled expression on her face, Illness-san tilted her head. She usually gives the impression of being confident and composed, not having any doubts in her mind, but it was clear that she was genuinely unsure about her current romantic feelings, and there was evident hesitation in her words.
Since she said she wants to think things through and come up with her own answer, I, the one sheās consulting with, should give her hints that might help her reach her conclusionā¦ā¦ but thatās easier said than done.
[Honestly, I might not have much advice to giveā¦ā¦ Ah, but thereās one thing I can say. If what Iām thinking here isnāt just my egoā¦ā¦ If the answer Illness-san is trying to reach is what I think it isā¦ā¦ Errrā¦ā¦ I donāt think the result would be one that would make Illness-san sad.]
[Kaito-samaaaaā¦ā¦]
[And so, I think itās okay to take your time. Itās fine to slowly think about what you want to do from now on and what kind of future you want.]
[ā¦ā¦Kuhihiā¦ā¦ Kaito-sama really isā¦ā¦]
Hearing my words, Illness-san looked surprised for a moment, but then she quickly smiled and her narrowed eyes looked at me affectionately.
[Afterword]
Serious-senpai: [ā¦ā¦So basically, itās that, isnāt it? She wants to properly confess to Kaito, but sheās worried because she canāt put her feelings into wordsā¦ā¦ Isnāt that practically a confession already!? Also, with Kaitoās response there, doesnāt that make you a couple with mutual feelings for each other!?]
