[The more they all speak, the more relaxed Ryou's body language becomes. He's back to sitting cross-legged, and now his arms are crossing, but not in a defensive manner. Quite the contrary, he looks thoughtful. So...they don't all have to date. Okay. He's glad, because that means things won't get even more complicated than they already are.
They'll communicate, which is good. Even if it'll take a while for he and Komaeda to get along better...]
Ah, this really is complicated, isn't it...?
[One ear twitches, and he closes his eyes, thinking harder.]
What's allowed...that's going to be hard. I think the most important thing you have to know is, sometimes I really get it wrong. And other times, I need to experience things, to know whether I can handle them. If it gets to be troublesome, I'll tell you, but it doesn't have to mean the subject is off-limits.
...For now, I think I'm perfectly alright with you two holding hands, being close...kissing...things like that.
It's just...I want to get to know you better, Komaeda. So that I don't feel like someone you don't want to deal with--I think that, um...I want us to get along for more than just Atem's sake.
Does that make sense? And, since I've set some boundaries myself, what thoughts do you both have? I don't want to be selfish, or seem like I'm trying to control too much, that's not right, not what I want. S-surely you both understand, right?
[Someone better cut him off, seriously, or he's prone to start rambling himself in a circle. But at least it's just talking, and maybe it's the right kind of conversation, but he's clearly nervous now.]
