No? But you are always so good at keeping us on track during the trials. I think if that is the type of sword you want to be, you are doing a fine job of it.
no!! he hasn't even been able to take her to a real tanabata festival, has he? this is a CRIME. karalili have to make it to endgame for a tanabata date.
...Lili and I aren't a story made for people's entertainment. We're just trying to find a way to win this game and get everyone home safe. That's more important than love.
Not for entertainment, no, but... people need hope, to get them through hard times.
Knowing that a bond as strong as the one the two of you share can be forged from situations like this can give others the strength to keep going and find our way home.
But why it would be that important to anyone else? Our courtship isn't anyone else's business. They should have their own reasons for wanting to get home.
It is not so much the courtship itself so much as it is knowing that something, anything, wonderful can come from a situation where there is so much pain.
...the courtship is simply the most noticeable aspect, I think.
Besides... you have people who care about you, who want to see the two of you happy. I think that may play a part in it as well.
They care about Lili, not me, and that's fine. And as long as we win this game, that should be all we need as far as something good coming out of the situation goes.
I think that they care about you, too, though... you are not nearly as frightening as you seemed to be at first. And you are kinder than you like to act. Those are qualities that will draw people to you.

Otherwise, it can seem completely unattainable.

I don't see why it makes that much of a difference. Courtship is far from the only thing that matters.
