Thank you for that phrasing, Kaiba-kun. It makes this less complicated.

"We are," Ken promises, and knows he means it. "There's a lot to think about, but - I won't stop here."

He's not all right in the moment. But he's going to be all right. He has to come to terms with his emotions, discover their roots - discover what to do next. Right now it's just...murk.

He won't let it stay that way.
