Unfortunately, John was slightly wrong about the nature of the feelings Ami was questioning. Actually, she had no doubts that she was attracted to Kanda. Maybe the doubt was really agape after all, whether she was capable of that kind of true feeling, unselfishly.

She'd know, he said. But she didn't know. Did that mean no? (Or did it mean whatever was missing from her might have known?)

She settles for saying what she does know, as though prompting John to either confirm or deny it, to tell her if it meant love or something else.

"I want to see him some day," she begins. "A part of me wants to think there's a chance of that."
