...I love every Ultimate here, if that's what you mean. It's the purest form of love that I have, and I'd give anything to see them all succeed.

( and if that love of his means that he has to die for them, then so be it. it's because they all represent hope, and even chiaki's hope is shimmering as ever so he's excited to see how she fares with everyone else. )

Loving hope... that's all I've had, and all I ever will.

( he pauses, looking at the wish slip she writes on. )

Loving someone else... to see myself loved... no on wants that with me. I've accepted it, Kudo-san... I am jealous you are able to... have feelings like this in general.
