Yuuko raised her eyebrows at the teen before her. "I'll grant your wish... but first you have to tell me why you want to help someone you say you hate."

Watanuki opened his mouth to speak, but quickly shut it. Why was he doing this?

Voices started up inside his mind, whirling around.

It's my fault!

I want him to feel guilty every time he looks at me.

Faintly, in the background, a voice murmured, Because I love him.

That voice was promptly squished.

When Watanuki opened his mouth again, he said, "It's what I chose to do."

Yuuko smiled.
