[ Mizuki shakes his head, and he does actually let go of Affogato's hand at this point. Unclear whether or not it's because he felt a twitch or something like that from the other, or just because he feels a little more comfortable worrying his hands into his umbrella. ]

I don't think that's true. Those people gave up a lot for me, just because... they were kind people. They didn't expect anything in turn. But that's why I think their opinions mean so much to mean.

Besides, I don't think being controlled is all that bad or anything. Having someone tell you what to do so you don't have to second guess anything ever is nice, I think. At least, for me it is. I've been told that's not a very good perspective to have, either, though... I'm really not good at these sorts of things.
