Now that the crisis was seemingly over, Ryusei found himself clasping his hands and looking at the floor. Why had that become so uncomfortable? It almost never was when Gentarou was involved, but Gentarou also didn't try to hang onto Ryusei. Push at a little, maybe, when Ryusei helped him stand. But never clutch at Ryusei even when he was attempting to lie down. For a moment, Ryusei had been almost afraid that Kengo wouldn't let go.

"I-I'll take care of Fire Switch," he said with the ingratiating smile he almost never used now. He almost never used it now because he didn't spend much time with people who weren't Club members. The smile slipped a little, then turned into a wince. What was he doing?

"I'll let you know if I'm unsure about anything," he said, more naturally, raising his head. "Promise."
