Karin stood stunned, with her mouth open at the words of Aska which were long and completely beyond her thoughts.
"Aska, what are you talking about honey?" asked Karin to Aska and sat down again next to Aska.
Aska turned to face the wall as Karin sat beside him again. Karin gently turned Aska's body back with a little exertion so that Aska would face her.

With full patience, Karin studied Aska's face, which was still closed. Karin knows that Aska has only one weakness, which is weakness with her touch.
