Yuuta stared at Elena, his lips slowly parting as disbelief replaced everything else.
"...Erza loved my eyes?"
The question escaped as little more than a whisper. Yuuta couldn't understand why such a simple thing was affecting him this much, but after everything he had convinced himself of since last night, Elena's words didn't fit the version of Erza he had created inside his head.
Elena nodded enthusiastically.
"Yes! Mama loves Papa's eyes sooo much!"
She stretched both of her little arms as wide as she could, apparently believing that was the best possible measurement for how much Erza loved them. The innocent gesture almost made Yuuta laugh, but his mind was already searching for an explanation.
Maybe Elena asked her recently.
That had to be it.
