Devero immediately tucks Koumyou under his arm, still holding him close in this new position. He squeezes the priest's shoulder and smiles down at him, his expression so open and so tender.

"I want that too," he says softly. "I want that for you so much, Koumyou." For him to be able to hope? For him to have a perfect wedding?

For him to believe that he can have as well the happy ending that he wants for Devero?

Yes.
