[ He takes a mouthful of food, but is still watching Mine expectantly while he chews. ]
And it's not borrowed time. You earned it, you decided to stick around and try again.
[ And Daigo is studying him, trying to figure out what he's going to do this time. He'd like to have blind faith that Mine will take what Kiryu had to tell him forward into the future, but he worries. Because there's still something unresolved: and it's them. Is he the master and Mine the servant, or are they going to figure out how to be equals? That's not a conversation for the cafe or the office. Or anywhere public facing, really. He can't be just himself much of anywhere. Can Mine tolerate that, being kept at a distance even after he's been brought close? It seems unfair. It's why Daigo doesn't do it; sleeps with someone once with the understanding that he'll never be back again. ]
