Misuzu was curious.
What exactly was the relationship between Yuuna and Kouhei?
Kouhei's ability allowed him to strengthen those with whom he shared deep bonds—the stronger the connection, the greater the power they received. Given that, it wasn't strange that he was close to Yuuna. However, their closeness… felt different. It wasn't just camaraderie or the bond of allies. It was something intimate. Something that made Misuzu suspect they might be lovers.
Not that she minded, of course. If that truly was the case, then she wholeheartedly supported it.
And yet… it wasn't just Yuuna.
That same invisible thread of connection linked Kouhei to others in the Yuuna Faction—Hina, Nagisa, even Aria. Their bonds with him had deepened, their power growing in tandem. Meanwhile, Misuzu… remained the same.
That realization gnawed at her.
