"Have you missed me?" she asks lightly. "I've certainly..." she pauses—did she miss you?

For a long time, Ai believed that her love for you was a lie. That scares her. She wants to think that you're just another ex, like Hikaru. But you're not, and that scares her too. Nevertheless, a placating smile crosses her face, one she hopes will please you.

Ai clears her throat, briefly covering her mouth with a gloved hand. "I'm hoping your life has been a lively one, since we last spoke?" she says, her eyes shimmering just like they did back then. Little has really changed.
