Based on the song Друзья (Ты и я) by Электрофорез.

You had long since become something more to each other, something dear to each other.

You didn't question each other's importance because everything you'd been through had bound you together, and you couldn't just walk away.

Your friendship had long since become something more, and you both knew it.

Even if Chuuya understood it from context, from scraps of phrases and lines in messages.

He was aware of your fear of being alone, and he could hardly give you up himself, but the vague worry that eventually everything would come to light never left.

You are friends. Now what?
