Author's Notes: No spoilers, as far as I can tell.
He hadn't thought a girl would ever be so much trouble, and be such a source of chaos.
He had Merle, but her own brand of mischief was more related to jumping on him at every opportunity and acting like the kitten she was - always getting into things. At heart, Van didn't mind Merle's chaos because he knew she loved him.
She was another thing entirely. Not only had she nearly wrecked his coronation (but to be fair, he was on her world), but all she seemed to bring was trouble! The visions came true, but they were never good visions, and they rarely occurred without bloodshed.
And he would never tell anyone, but he didn't think he could just be a warrior and not care that it was his hands, his skill that brought blood to the surface.
But her. At heart, Van was content to deal with Hitomi's chaos (and all of its burdens) because he knew - he knew - he loved her.
He just wished he could be sure that she loved him.
