[He really is a wonder, to be able to say such things honestly. It both touches Yuuki and hurts. There isn't a single day that goes by that she's not grateful for his support, or the fact that after all they've been through, he hasn't abandoned her side.
She just doesn't always think she deserves that. Her gaze lingers on him a moment more, before it falls away. She smiles, though it's faint.]
Sometimes I don't understand why you changed to begin with.
[Glancing back up to him, she speaks quickly to cut off a protest.] I'm not saying it doesn't make me happy. That's not what I mean. Of course I treasure Zero and the fact that you're by my side. [That isn't the issue. Not at all.]
It's just... [She draws a breath, before her gaze wanders back to the floor once more.] You were forced to be by my side from the start, and were manipulated so much.
[All by the other person that Yuuki still can't forget about.]
If you resented or hated me because of all that, I would understand.
