Of course. All of this was pretty new to me too when I first got here. So I know how overwhelming it can be.

[In a way, their situations weren't that different. Ayaka is being forced to confront all of this because of her heat, whereas Aether needed the kizuna produced by physical intimacy to heal after his soul was damaged shortly after arriving here. So he really does know all too well how it feels to be suddenly confronted with something so unfamiliar and embarrassing.]

I might still get embarrassed sometimes but... if there's anything you're curious about or want to ask, I don't want you to think that you can't. Whether it's about this place, sex, or-- about me.
