Sumire exhaled deeply. "I know. I suppose I can continue focusing on my entertainment industry takeover plan."
Mamoru sweat fell. "When you put it like that, it almost sounds like world domination."
"Isn't it similar?"
"I suppose that part of you hasn't changed."

"I won't, I'll be by your side for-" Mamoru paused and reached over to squeeze her hand. "I'll be here Ki."
