[ ... Hmm. She understands, both from his view and her own. Love is painful. That's why Siffrin's words had stung, why Edamura's slow build to the truth had clawed her chest, why... even the lack of it, from her mother, hurt so much despite her efforts. It has never been something wholly good or kind, only-- ]
You don't want to be hurt.
[ Simply, because she understands. Neither does she. ]
We are overly cautious, perhaps, and analytical to a fault. "Feeling"... is not our speciality. Unlike many others. But you should know, Edamura, that they have allowed themselves to be hurt, to risk that, and they have been surprised by the result. Aventurine wasn't certain at all last we spoke -- and I did encourage him to speak up, whether he thought he had, or deserved to have, a chance -- so at the very least, in his case... He knew well the messy, painful side of it.
[ Just as they do. ]
It does sound nice though, doesn't it? To find someone that may accept all that you have, or don't have, to offer. To find bliss in your every day with them. To be swept away by romance, to know. But I doubt any of them truly did, Edamura. They only wanted to look at the day ahead and see the person they like within it.
[ ... And, to that...

Mmm. She can... perhaps, still see where it goes, once she has apologized for her bullheadedness and seen how he feels now, but... to call it anything so juvenile is beyond her. ]
You know, I was quite glad Furina and Ringo took to the booth. I still don't fully understand it, but I believe half of that dreadful "l-word" might be regret. And if there is someone or something you would feel "regret" towards for abstaining, then perhaps that is something worth trying regardless of the unknown result.
