19: Crystal
He was often compared to ice, seemingly cold and sharp and blank as ice. But even the hardest ice crystals thaw in warmth. And although almost no one knew this was so, he had thawed in the warmth of Daisuke's offer of friendship; the ice crystal was no longer a good comparison to him.
For crystals of ice melt and crystals of glass shatter, but the magic that he had become might endure forever. If he resembles any crystal it is the deep sapphire and his friend the burning ruby, both long lasting and with more value than simple beauty that most covet them for, unknowing of the other qualities of these gems.
20: Comfort
No matter that everyone thinks Risa is his girlfriend they are just friends. It is comforting to know that a normal human can accept him for what he is, but that's all there is to it. He wants to get used to having a future and the life he has as half magic before thinking about romance. Anyway, she may only be his second friend ever and the only purely human one, but she is also his tie to humanity, which is more important for him to have than for Daisuke to have, after all Daisuke has the comfort of his clan. But he is alone, with a close friend in the same situation as him, but no one to remind him of what it is to be human.
