(... haru-chan sure looks lonely, doesn't she? kimihiro watches her find the words to reply to him, and she eventually does - allowing his own question to be answered.)

They know this, don't they? Your friends. (he gets it. kimihiro himself has very few, and the ones that he once had happen to have passed. now, all he really has is doumeki's great-grandson and the spirits that come visit him.) Also, Haru-chan. Please remember that their happiness isn't your responsibility. You can help, but they have to find it themselves as well.
