[The passion with which Hiyori insists on that point stuns the clone into silence, as does the way she quickly closes the distance between them in order to embrace him after such a foolish question. She always knows just what he - they - need at any given moment, be it smack upside the head or a heartfelt hug.
His shoulders sag as guilt overwhelms him for having such selfish thoughts. Of him being the one remaining Yato. Of shoving his original into the mirror so he can have Hiyori and Yato's life all to himself. He may be sensible, but he does have desires of his own. Same as the rest of them. They are all Yato, after all.
Hesitantly, he returns the gesture by holding onto her, fingers twisting into her shirt. Of course she would choose the original. He is hers. One and only.]
Are you sure...? Don't you want a him that's less of an idiot, who thinks things through and doesn't make you uncomfortable?
[There's a pleading note to his voice, even after she's insisted that the complete Yato is the one for her.]
I... I could be your Yato. A better version of him that'll take care of you and won't spring stupid, scary gifts on you suddenly!
WHO CAN RESIST!!
