I was worried

SUMIRE

'I wonder if Yuhi would know. He is the spirit King, he should have some ideas, shouldn't he?' If she can figure out what bond they have, then perhaps she will be able to help lift the darkness in his eyes.

"Why would he think that?" Sumire asked. Although the logic made sense to her. She is curious what Eli said to Hino. What did Eli say, that led to Hino reacting this way?

"Who knows." Hino shrugged.

Hino may not have revealed it, but Lila knew him better. She could tell that he was withholding some suspicions he had surrounding the topic. Perhaps he was not willing to share them yet, at least not without any proof.

Well, she supposes this is okay. 'If it were in the past, I would have pried more. But, Hino is already sacrificing a lot for me. I will be patient. He will tell me when he is ready.'
