I know what's causing this strong attraction. I know it's just another experiment. At least I've gotten a valuable lesson out of it. I was foolish to think I could have a family with Martel, either here or back home. It wasn't meant to be. The girl I knew died a long time ago and no Summon Spirit can change that.

Even if it's just an experiment, I don't want this feeling to disappear when it's over. I hope it doesn't. I need to stay with someone who doesn't remind me of the past.

All I need to do is keep him away from Usagi. I don't want either of them to get hurt. In fact, I'll have to find a way to keep him safe from all of Usagi's friends after that warning she issued. The experiment might be clouding my sense of judgment, but I find it hard to believe he could truly harm someone.

[What is this? Yuan's wandering through the village in broad daylight? Seeming like he's actually enjoying the weather? Apparently, something's brightened his mood a bit. One might note, though, that he looks like he hasn't been sleeping well these past few nights. One might also note that he's carrying more groceries than should be necessary for one person. Stocking up for a winter that's already passed? Who knows?

Approach and find out, if you feel like it.]

Do I look like I'm kidding?

It's so hard to tell when you always look like that!

[Not. Amused.]

[We are. Can you tell from the way she has to bite her cheeks to keep from laughing.]

Ahem. You sure are buying a lot of food, Yuan.

... Isn't it more efficient to stock up for a week or two than to go to the store every single day?

[He's not quite meeting Usagi's eyes, there.]

Stocking up for a couple days, sure, but weeks? The food could spoil.

[Oh god. What is this logic coming from her mouth?]

[Ahhh! Yuan's one weakness!]

Yes, well... I'm sure I'll have eaten it before that happens.

You're gonna get a belly if you do that, though.

I doubt it.

[Hello awkward silence. Hn.]

I, uh, found those curtains. Just, you know, putting it out there.

[Oh. Right. Those.]

... I see. That's good to hear, I suppose.

[That's not the, uh, response we were hoping for. Where's your enthusiasm, man?]

Yeah! They're not even super bright or anything. No cows, either!

[The former leader of the Renegades does not get enthusiastic over curtains. Or... anything, for that matter.]

Excellent. Should I pick them up at your house?
