[ Hunter is very much missing the point and Yuta's left at a loss. How do you explain what is normal to someone who has never known even a fraction of it? He feels like he's failing pretty badly at it though that does not make him any less determined to keep trying to make the point understood, even if only a little. ]

Thank you. [ First and foremost, an appreciation for the sincere sentiment. ] But Hunter-kun, what I'm trying to say is that it should have been the same for you. You should have been allowed to make that choice for yourself, too. No one should get to decide the future for you like that.

[ So very gentle yet insistent like the clutch of Yuta's hands. ]
