[After all the chaos in the living room gradually subsides as the pairs make their way back to the mirror world, Yato himself gives his original Hiyori's hand a gentle squeeze. She handled that so much better than he did, and her other selves were so obliging, proof that no matter what aspect of Hiyori is in the forefront, she'll always have care for others.

Nodding at her answer, he threads their fingers together to make the hold just that more close.]

Yeah, but you didn't have to. Neither did your other selves. It takes a special kind of person to let themselves be exposed like that just to help others.

[It couldn't have been easy on her, he knows. She's so guarded about her more personal feelings, like her love of wrestling and her affection for him. Allowing him to see all sides of herself up close and personal is about as close as they've gotten to being intimate. It's something he'll appreciate for a long, long time.

Especially when she decides to face him head-on and ask that question. For a minute he regards her quietly, humming as though in thought, before--]

Maybe it's cheating, but I think the original is best. All of your sides are great in their own way, but your yourself are more than the sum of your parts. Like a diamond, you shine more brightly when each aspect of you lights up the other parts.

[Leaning in, he dares to brush his lips against hers.]

I could never choose to have just one part of you, even your fangirl side.
