Mm. It would be disappointing, to be sure. After all, it'd be a shame if I can't give you all the love I believe you deserve. But more than that, I would rather you decide to do what makes you happy. To see you unhappy would upset me more than any amount of mere disappointment ever could.

And I told him that should you wish it, I would agree to his terms. If it must be one of us, you and he are much better suited to each other than you and I. And as always, love and happiness is more important than anything else in this world.
Do you want to try making some out of paper? They won't last as long, but we can string them all together with lights... and make them all look different.

Re: Day 325
That's not what you wanted to talk about though, is it?
Re: Day 325
Of course I want to hear about your happiness.
[ a pause though. ]
... I'm, um.
...
I don't... want to seem as if I've taken advantage of your feelings, at any point. Regardless of what we do I care deeply about you.
You... understand that, right?
Re: Day 325
Of course I do. Love needn't take only one form. I know that better than most.
Re: Day 325

Would you-- be upset? If we couldn't... kiss, or anything like that, together anymore.

... Sunrise would prefer it if-- we didn't treat others romantically, if we're together. At least, um-- not sexually.

Re: Day 325
I'm just glad there are people who can-- who can give you something I might not be able to.
Of course I wouldn't force you to change anything, either. I still want to be with you, this way-- you're. Still dear to me.
Re: Day 325
I'm glad for that. Even just this much is already far more than I deserve.
Re: Day 325
[ a long pause. ]
I'm sorry.
