I'm glad Etienne clarifies for us, because I couldn't find the right words. I guess all the right words were with him. I squeeze his hand back and smirk at him to let him know I'm not bothered by his contradiction.

I bite my lip at Hiromu's next question, looking to Etienne in askance.

"Ah. Therein lies the problem. Put simply, no, we are not ever alone."

I hate how it's called. Why they chose those words. But it is what it is. "Our... Weak Point, it prevents separation."
