[ He nods up at her, the same smile still lingering on his face. ]
Of course. I wouldn't want to break a promise to you. [ Or a deal, whatever. It's the same thing - it's not like Mamoru would want to break a promise with anyone at all, but he's at least well aware that Kiraki would kick his ass (whether literally or metaphorically) if he tried pulling something like that on her. And it's why, despite knowing that it'll be hard to just forget about it and forgive himself, he is going to make a genuine effort to try and do so. If she wants him to, then it's the least he can do.
But it's suddenly not the main point here anymore. Since Mamoru can notice something changing about her. Suddenly she's frowning a little bit, she's pushing her hair behind her ear, and it's like despite them just finishing talking about a heavy topic, the heavier part is yet to come. Except Mamoru has no idea what exactly that heavier part will be, he doesn't know what she's thinking about to suddenly make that expression. There's nothing to stay hung up about, she says, and yet..
He frowns a little bit too, although it's more out of worry than anything else - the emotion easily making its way to his eyes, as it always does. ]
.. Tsushima. What's wrong?
[ He's at least perceptive enough of other people's feelings to pick up that something is wrong, although he's so romantically clueless that he has no idea it's got anything to do with that at all. ]
