[Setting the mug aside where it can't be knocked over probably is the smartest thing to do here. But for now Hiyori merely hums in thought after he's kissed, considering those words before he nods in understanding.]
Ah, so it's like that.
[He relaxes his hold until he's only half-hugging Elan.]
That just means it's mutual, since I also trust Elan-kun. I trust him not to talk about our secret trysts! Which you could say means I'm entrusting you with my dreams. And the dreams of people I love, like Nagisa-kun and Jun-kun.
[Since the whole unit would take a hit if his actions caused a scandal... Still, he knows Elan's secrets are rather different, and so he continues:]
I guess that's not the same as your situation, though. In your case, having someone who knows you must feel unsettling, when you've been keeping secrets for so long. But it's also a relief, isn't it?
