[Sakamoto is strange as well. He too feels an odd sort closeness as Zura present's his naked body, taking great care to wipe gently and make sure that no mess is left over. Perhaps it's because, though he knows he's leaving in a few days, there is a part of him that hopes for something more even though it seems impossible.

He doesn't think about how it will hurt to leave, and despite his love for the stars it always hurts to watch the Earth grow smaller and smaller from the window of his room. This is because while he loves his job, his comfortable existence comes with a heavy price (as all things do, nothing in life is free, something a merchant knows very well): There is always a chance he will never return.

Zura doesn't need to know that.]

I'm gonna shower, actually~!

[Sakamoto says this after washing Zura's rear and inner thighs thoroughly, then throwing the dirty towel in the bin for... Well. Dirty towels.]

I'll join ya later. That alright? It's only gonna take a few minutes! I'll be out in a lil' bit.

[Before he steps into the shower, Sakamoto catches a glimpse of himself and Katsura in the mirror, visible from the waist up. He's distracted by the feeling that worms its way into his gut, so he leans on his friend's shoulder with his elbow and whistles.]

Ahhhhh! We look good together.
