Description:

“This is unlike you,” she says. She’s said it before. It bears repeating. “I can’t figure it out. Why would you go this far? Of the choices in front of you — rather than the selfless and much kinder option of letting go of what is most likely a doomed affair, and rather than try to salvage it with the much safer and to risk option of picking some lower ranked family you could bully into obedience, you would face the possible fury of lightning? On the chance that he’s willing to stay with you through all of it? On the chance that your love will be enough?”

“A friend of a friend once said that there will always be those who dare to brave the lightning’s glow,” Ayato says.

Set before "the commitment of a lifetime". Ayato and Yae Miko talk about gambles and desires.
