[Kurama mentally updates that 'rather sad' to 'extremely sad'. Especially since apparently Nyaf-ya makes cat puns and it's cute. He steps a little bit closer.]

I'm one of the last people to say someone can't choose who they are going to be. It's very nice to meet you, Nyaf-ya.

...I would also like to thank you for putting Akira and I into the same room after what happened. It was better for neither of us to be alone when we woke up.

[...what had happened had made a lot of things messy especially now that they knew Goro was still around, but Kurama still firmly believes it was better than the alternative.]
