Um...handcuff all of you to one other person for a week for accountability? I never said the something was a good idea.

I don't know where to get that many pairs of handcuffs though. [Frown.] The only other thing would be giving them something to keep themselves busy with, like a curse or a task or something.

Maybe during a week I'm hosting but before that? I'm not sure it'd work...plus I don't want to actually make people mad even if it'd help them.

It would have to be a really specific curse, wouldn't it? Like being cursed to hug everybody for a week or something.

I wish I could take credit for that, but nah. That was...half-me. [Whatever that means.]

You know I can't confirm that. [But there's a hint of laughter in her voice, so.]

Maybe once or twice. [This is still funny, excuse her.] That's the kind of use of my power I don't always mind.

Exactly. That's why I trust you guys to figure out the best ways to use them. There's a reason I picked the people I did. [...] Itachi-san notwithstanding.

Mm...it's still sort of off limits. I'm sorry. But maybe it doesn't matter that much anyway. I wanted to believe what he had said, but I still think he just went about it the wrong way.

He more or less said he couldn't align himself with me because of how he felt and what he was going to do, so at least he acknowledged that part...

...I think he understood love in a way that wasn't exactly conventional, and when he realized a couple of things after getting here he knew the choice wasn't the right one. That's really all I can say for now.

Yeah. That was the impression I got, anyway.
