Ryuutaro smiled a bit. Just the little comment calmed him down a bit as well... He knew the entire next time was going to be a tough fight, possibly even a dangerous one, but right now he had succeeded in at least comforting Hayato a little bit. It felt good.

"I'm not going to stop..."
For a moment he wanted to add something like 'See? Everything is fine as long as you're with me' but then he realized again that all this had happened just because Hayato was with him... and stayed silent.
