[His eyes had widened, as if hearing her say that caused some sort of revelation.]
Yesterday? I started seeing... things yesterday.
[Were these connected? While he wanted to find out, fear crept up on him again and it was easily overriding his desire to keep up with his duty. He had to stop thinking about it. He couldn't bring her down with him, and he'd probably hurt her if he kept this topic going. He wouldn't forgive himself for that.
His body stiffened. He shouldn't have asked about her dress. That attempt to change the topic backfired, didn't it? And goddamnit, the dress. Taking her out today was his number one priority, how the hell could he even screw that up? And now because of all the weird shit that was going on in the cities, his options to take her anywhere were severely limited, and a dinky little cafe wasn't going to cut it.
... was he feeling tears well up in his eyes? He hastily put his glasses back on in some attempt to hide it.]
Can I... tell you something, Sonico?
[He seemed to barely speak above a whisper. At the moment it was a wonder he managed to speak any at all.]
