I wish to protect Juudai for as long as he and I remain living, but, at least for now, he'll need to concentrate more on you and his... family.

What does his 'shield' do, when there maybe very little to protect him from?
Not that I particularly want him to be in danger either.

*She lets out a sigh.*

But I have stagnated. Found myself 'stuck in a rut' as it was proposed to me. Too used to the idea of simply being his life long protector and nothing more.
And up until now, I was too stubbon to make connections with anybody outside of him.

I can... understand... your feeling, when you said you felt you did not belong in Juudai's life because you felt too 'normal'.
As I feel I do not really belong in this more... domestic... side of Juudai's life.

I have never really known, or understood... family.
