(Sorry if this is not 100% accurate, i haven't finished the game yet)

Ayumu refused to read people's minds unless he absolutely had to. It's not like they's ever know, but it was a personal moral code of his - same thing with personal information and such.

He felt bad for practically blackmailing you into his company, but he didn't regret it. He felt bad for taking a peek into your mind for just that one second when your hands accidentaly touched, and that he regretted.

You were attracted to him - he should have guessed without having to use his powers, really. You weren't subtle. Ayumu was terrified. When was the last time he even thought about romance? About anything other than his research. Gods above and below, he'd be an awful boyfriend. He wanted to shove the idea inside a trashcan and light it on fire.

It was cloudy today, a little chilly, since you were high up in the Corporation's roof. Awful weather, really, and it would start raining in about an hour or so. Maybe it was the universe's way of telling him he should shut his big mouth and go back inside.

Oh well.
