[ One small step felt like such a big deal for Ayaka. To hold back this long because she was scared of what may happen. Scared of what she's feeling. Her own brother advised her to embrace her feelings, and as embarrassing as that was? Here she is now, tugging on the hand of the person she seeks attention from most at this time. The one person who's been in her thoughts the past weeks, if only because she wanted to spend more time with him, eating and sharing stories at a teahouse or otherwise.
She kisses him back, letting go of his hand to close the distance between them, both hands holding onto the haori of his kimono.

[ The heron whispers it in the wind, breathless. Time stands still when she poses her question. It's picturesque— a young maiden pouring her heart out and making a wish in front of a man who's captured her attention. Her hold on his haori loosens, but she does not completely let go. The Daijuu may have little effect on her now as she's embraced how she really feels, but it doesn't mean that Ayaka doesn't want any of this. ]
