No. Even now, I'm not sure that I completely believe that.
[It's not just Elda. Elda's a large part of it, sure- it's difficult to just accept that she cares about him, even with all signs pointing to the obvious. It's more difficult to believe that he wouldn't manage to push Elda over the edge somehow, intentional or not.
Elda's name doesn't actually say anything. For all the other names, it's easy to quickly sort out what happened. For Elda... It's more complicated, and that's something better off discussed anyway. He pulls the folder back into his bag.]

[Because he'll never admit to Elda in a million years that it was his fault, that he messed up, but Toushiro? He didn't play any part in this. He didn't do anything wrong. He doesn't deserve to have something like that hanging over his head. Silver's said his piece and could get up to head out, but stays rooted in place anyway.]
