"What is it, Shirley?

I ask Shirley, affected by the darkness of Shizukuishi, who suddenly opened his mouth.

I don't know what to do with this situation or how I can save Shirley, but now my instincts were about to complain that it was important to talk to this Shirley.

……

Shirley, influenced by the Shizukuishi of darkness in my inquiry, is silent again. But I'm not in a hurry. It didn't seem like we could solve anything here in a hurry. Now it's time to wait for words...... I think so and say nothing, just wait for words.

"... can I believe you, Hal? I'm being selfish like this, but, Hal, are you okay with this?

"You bet. I like Shirley. So you don't have to hesitate to do anything for me, and don't put up with me. It would be sadder if that lover were to shy away from me.... so trust me. I'll do what I can for Shirley as long as I have my own life."

Yes, I would accept any Shirley, and for Shirley's sake, as long as I had my own life.

I also protect whomever I want with my life, just as my father and mother risked their lives to protect me.

"... Hal, you"

Then Shirley, who was in his arms, glowed white.
