[ Samatoki stays silent for a while, standing up with Kitsuno by his side. He's listening, just not really sure what to say or how to respond to these things Kitsuno says. It's not that he's closing off on her, or that he's ungrateful for the companionship she brings, but. . . ultimately, it's him who has to do something about his problems, not anyone else.
He's learned to rely on people— he does, of course. That's why he's not against being in teams. That's why it hurt so much when Sasara betrayed him, and then Ichiro. The trust he places in people is almost sacred now, because he still knows how to do it despite all the heartbreaks he's experienced in the past.
These people now, whether it's Mad Trigger Crew, Kitsuno, or the other people whom he's befriended here. They're all important. He trusts them. . . And Kitsuno saying she wants to help. . . maybe he should let these people do that, huh? What Kitsuno offers as an exchange gets him to laugh a little, and he can't help but let go of Kitsuno's hand only so he can pull her in for a hug. ]

... This is enough for me. Thanks, Kitsuno.
