And now that the cat is out of the box, they wait. Wait because there is nothing else they can do, except what they've already done. And they can afford to wait, unlike Yuugo who couldn't wait much longer on his own. There was an infinite potential, an infinite patience, when it was two of them instead of one.
It is almost strange. Isn't it also possible to reach the end of cooperation and breed anger and hate instead? Yuugo had fully believed that to be the case, had fully believed the truth would turn Ami away, make that warm red sunlight a hellish fire that would drive him into the cold grey… But it hadn't. Ami is a better woman than he can ever think to be. And perhaps Yuuko probably won't loathe to admit it, but Ami has trumped her as well.
But then again. Yuuko is his sister, his twin. It will be strange if they never fight, if every transgression is forgiven. Ami was - Ami is the world, in a place like this. The sun that keeps him from drifting off. The kind face, the kind hands, that coax him near and the kind voice that hails him when he nears.
Hasn't he immortalised and glorified her like an angel, a God?
But in a world of two, he can either stay blind or paint her flaws, and how can he paint her flaws when he is the flow that's trapped her?
