[Yasu answers unhesitatingly, then pauses, shrinking back slightly as if trying to rewind and add a tactful, considerate silence before she blurted the monosyllable out.]
It's simple, when you get down to it, even when everything else... isn't. She understands me, knows that I'm not entirely lying when I talk about not being fully human and doesn't try to argue that I'm not, and... it feels better, somehow, than when everyone is making a desperate case that I'm a real girl. And I understand her, too. I understand the way she loves, how similar it is the way that I love her even if it's not exactly the same...
You can't call something like that anything but a miracle, right?
[She drifts off, somehow staring through Kuro, back through the story that they've shared together.]
But it's not just Kakuya. Everyone here has been so kind to me. I feel like I have human friends for the first time, even if... even if they all hate me now.
I meant what I said. If I have to choose, I'll choose Kakuya. [Yasu's voice trembles.] But I don't want to choose. I want everyone to be happy, even with all the people that she's hurt, and- and I know that's selfish, that it's too much, but if the universe gave me one miracle already... maybe I can find a way to get through this without...
Without having to choose between monster and human.
