[ Even though her heart still aches, Minako finds a bit of relief in his answer. She doesn't doubt that it must be painful and awkward for him too, but there's something about that answer that's so very much like how he usually is - which means he's coping, if not at least for now.

The question, however, takes her off guard. Not in the sense that she looks shocked that he found something out, but more just that she looks a little confused. ]

I.. don't think so..? [ Not that she sounds very sure of that herself. It's the whole problem with being a shinki.. You can think you know yourself, but how can you ever fully be sure? Minako was plenty sure she wanted a boyfriend until a few moments ago. There could be plenty of things you don't know about yourself. But even if she doesn't have herself figured out yet entirely, she tries to be as honest as she can be with him right now. ]

I mean.. I think that who I am right now is who I am deep inside. There's some things I don't easily talk to people about, sure, but.. isn't everyone like that? [ Things like worries, insecurities.. She's seen more people keep those to themselves. ] There must be a lot about myself I still don't know, but I'm not really trying to hide anything I do know about myself.
