(... I've been dating Gaius for a short time, but it's been a long time. But....)
Dove saw Gaius arguing with Delkia again and observed his behavior and attitude in depth.
(... oh, was he like a kid that far? When I first met you, I thought you were a little older... or is this my fault? ……
Dove began to feel a little creepy about Gaius arguing with Delkia.
(... no, this is not my mistake. Obviously not. Somehow, it seems to be retreating... no, wait)
Dove stared at Gaius again.
Then a subtle change was felt.
(... has your face changed?... have you grown up more than before?... yes. No doubt. I haven't noticed it because I've been with you for a long time, but I'm clearly older than I used to be. And you're growing up faster than you can imagine at normal human speeds. Still, the contents are retreating? What the hell is going on here? ……
Though Dove raised his eyebrows and tried to observe the situation even deeper, he noticed that Gaius and I were looking at each other.
