I know right, I figured it was time to let Aiba have some peace. It's hard to have him upset all the time. Besides, if it went on much longer it would make this story painful to read, don't you think?

And I just thought Nino would be the best person to effect this change. He's so no-nonsense and matter-of-fact about everything that it just puts everything into perspective. Also, I imagine that he hates seeing Aiba upset too. =3

Thanks for the support! I fully intend to laze around for the whole time next week (apart from posting the next chapters, of course,) and catching up on all the Arashi stuff I'm behind on! ♥
