As you said, Mikage does have the right to choose his happiness. But that means knowing that you might care about him too. He told me that he doesn't know yet what he wants. So to force him one way or the other isn't fair to him, either. It should wait until he can talk to Shuri again, but just cutting things off like that ... it doesn't seem right.

But if someone believes in you that strongly, there's a good reason for that.
