[Listening to her makes his head spin a little more. That's not a connection he made right away, what had happened to them back at the station. That's true, that when his powers manifested, inexplicable feelings to protect her seemed to burst out of nowhere inside of him, resulting in that dark armor. It gives him a lot to think about, but he doesn't really get the chance to, not when Yoimiya gives such a blatant admission to him.

Ajax's eyes widen only the slightest bit as he takes a quiet, shallow breath in. To hear her refer to him as her missing piece, even if cheesy, makes his chest buzz hard and his mark flare up. It's the kind of thing you say to the love of your life, the one that you couldn't ever live without if you didn't have to. And it scares him that he knows that she's right, that it is connected to their marks, that they might be influencing them to feel the way they do. He's not sure how he feels about that.]

Yes...that all does make sense.

[It doesn't feel right if this sense of warmth and respite she brings him is a result of some outer influence that neither of them have any control or say over. Because if that's the case, then is what he feeling his own, or just something created by the magic of their new powers? He's not sure if he can acknowledge it as freely as Yoimiya just did.]

But now the question is, why did these marks suddenly appear on us, and are we okay with how they seem to be controlling our emotions?
