[Hiyori... ;; But he doesn't have the power of Santa...!
Why does he get the feeling he keeps putting his foot in his mouth despite his best efforts to be reassuring? No, he knows why - it's that subtle shift in her expression, that hint of unhappiness that he's somehow caused.
Yet she won't tell him what it is. Why...?]
It's not that. It's--
[Now it's his turn to clamp his mouth shut, swallowing his words and feelings. If she doesn't want to talk about it, then he shouldn't press her to. Yet at the same time they'll never get anywhere without some discussion. What should he do...?
Is it a matter of Hiyori not wanting to be protected, or him being too overbearing somehow? Should he take it back and let her take care of herself? But he can't do that, either. She's his responsibility as her God of Fortune and friend.
Following her up as she stands, he grips the edge of her desk tightly, squishing one of the marshmallows in his hand.]
You're going already? I-- [Don't want you to go.] I can come with you, if you want? I'll do my part later.
