[To Aether, all of this still feels like a bad dream and he continues to pray in his head that maybe soon he'll wake up and he'll be human, he'll be able to hang out with Thoma just like he planned...

He breathes in at the question.]

No... He just left after telling me that. [He doesn't even hide how much it worries him.] Maybe... he knows how to find other vampires? Or just me?

[It's so hard to tell and frankly, Aether is scared of the answer. But then Thoma stays so positive, despite the fear that Aether can so clearly sense in him. It makes a tiny smile finally bloom on his face.]

...You really are amazing.

[He's always known that. Maybe it was a bit of a crush, but Aether always thought that Thoma was amazing. So positive, calm no matter the situation. And now, even when facing this crazy mess, the other still tries his best, still searches for ways to help Aether.]

Thank you.

[He's touched, so much so that he feels like crying a little.]
