I, also, am capable of finding appropriate ways to celebrate other people.

Therefore--

Except for Sakura. Apple juice for you. (And don't think you're getting away on this one, Brat.)

Kamui... what is this?

[gemellaire]

[stares at it for a long time]

Just a drink, I think. ... Burns a little.

[unwovenshadows]

.... Oh. I see. Everyone was just drinking it, so I was wondering...

[gemellaire]

Mm. I don't think it appears threatening.

... Maybe just don't drink too much of it.

[unwovenshadows]

.... that may be a good idea... since... Fuuma-san and Seishirou-san are here, too.

[gemellaire]

.... [stiffens uncomfortably at that] ....

[downs the glass angrily]

You don't have to bother with them, Subaru.

[unwovenshadows]

But...

[stares at the floor]

[gemellaire]

... [embraces tightly]

I'll protect you no matter what. ... [pushes away mixed feelings and puts on a determined face]

And that includes keeping anything or anyone who might hurt you away.

[unwovenshadows]

[hugs back like he's never going to let go]

I know... I know... that you'll always be there. Kamui.

... I'll protect you too.

[gemellaire]

[just. stays there.]

I We don't need him them. We only need each other, right?

[unwovenshadows]

[hides his eyes]

.... Yes. All we need is each other, like we've always had... and always will.
