[ Rohan doesn't get nervous, not really. If only because he's not really cared about how people felt about him. But, he does care. Maybe that's why? Why is Reimi so often the exception? He's trying to hide the slightest bit that hits him. Maintains that almost indifferent look for a few moments before he organizes the words he's said again and again as he cooked in the kitchen earlier that day.

As he does everything, he has to do it right. And, he knows he can't keep dodging this. And he knows it's okay to be a little selfish. And he is glad that he spoke about this with someone, but someone he trusted was even better. And, he gave himself a month to sort this out. That time was closing in on him. ]

It's important to me that you know.

[ Okay - ]

And know that I am only saying this because I want you to know, and that you don't have to say or do anything. I don't expect anything.

[ And, without hesitation. He adds. ]

But. [ He pauses, it's brief, and he speaks confidently. As if he is fully sure about these words. ]

I love you, Reimi-chan.
