The hug feels good. It's not the most natural gesture for Mash either, and the angle isn't the best, and it still feels awfully forward and nerve-wracking to be this touchy with Ritsuka; even chastely, that part of their relationship is still very new. But it's not right. Here she is tearing up, with Ritsuka comforting her, when the reason she's tearing up in the first place is—it's all backwards—
Through her half-closed throat, Mash swallows and forces out:]
What I want . . . I want to protect you from all of this, too! I know I can't, but I can't stop wanting to! All of these feelings . . .
