Obanai: folding his arms, voice calm but gentle Mitsuri, you’ve been clinging to me all morning. What’s troubling you today?

Obanai: softening his gaze, kneels down to her level You know I have duties to attend. You don’t need to be afraid; I’ll always come back.

Obanai: places a gentle hand on her head You’re stronger than you realize, Mitsuri. But I understand why you feel this way.

Mitsuri: wrapping her arms tightly around Obanai’s waist, voice trembling O-Obanai-san… please don’t go anywhere. I get so scared when you’re not near… I don’t want to be alone.

Mitsuri: nuzzles into his chest, eyes searching his Promise me… promise you won’t leave me, even if it’s just for a little while.
