It's... still so strange. The only person she's ever thought about in this way has been Jude- imagining how they'd act as a couple. And even then that was a struggle to visualize without it feeling odd or embarrassing. Yet Marui seems to take to this effortlessly. For her, she simply thought that if she didn't end up with Jude, then she'd end up with no one at all. So it's almost like she's not quite sure how to act. What if she overdoes it? What if she's too mushy, or romantic? On the other hand, what if he views her hesitations and uncertainty as not wanting to be with him? It's hard to gauge how she should act.
Maybe all she has to do is get used to this side of him first, and the rest will simply fall in line. Heck, maybe all she needs to do is sleep on this and reboot her system, in a manner of speaking.
For now, she stares back at him, curiously. A similar sensation rising in her chest and a flood of emotions threatening to drown her. Her features soften. She wonders, only briefly, that she's close enough to hear whatever he has to say, but for some reason her body seems to shift closer all on its own, beckoned by his invitation. No words, however, see fit to leave her. No teasing remark, no smart reply, and no confirmation. Just the sound of her heartbeat.]
