He may. [Rei's lip twists up into a warm, relaxed smile. She wants to be reassuring at the least, and her fingers play through Ami's hair as they had so often lately.] He's just not ready, since he thinks too much about his brother and his own death. He likely hasn't even considered the possibility that he might have a future elsewhere.

[The implication should be incredibly obvious to anyone with half Ami's brainpower.]

Give it time though, dear. Things will shape up in the way they're meant to. Fate guides all our hands, you know. Especially ours. And truthfully, the worst that will happen is you'll have a friend and an unrequited crush. [She wouldn't call it love now.]

It'll be fine. Just...take a little time, relax. Drink your smoothie. Maybe have a little wine with Minako and I tonight. We'll unwind together.
