[Ren just feels like running away all over again. He's still not used to dealing with the problems of having emotions and knowing that they're real, and that they're his own. They aren't some malfunction caused by a virus or a bug.

He's already said it's not his business, so he should stop prying himself. But Koujaku has an All Mate, so maybe he's the best person to ask about this aside from Aoba, since Aoba can't remember any of it.]

What if it turned out that your All Mate wasn't what you thought? If they were... more than an All Mate? Would it change how you feel? Would you treat them differently?
