[And she is. He still doesn't understand her and some of the silly, stupid, stubborn things she does.]
You sure?
[It's easy to catch the things she's trying to say underneath those five simple words. That she'd be willing to start again. It's not October anymore; it's September all over again, and this is probably the only chance they'll have. He's not calling her feelings into question, but he needs to ask, and this is his way of doing so. To see if she's thought things through, thought about what this place is and what could happen, or if she needs time and space to think things over if she has not. He doesn't know the likelihood, but Mochizuki could show up one of these days, and he doesn't want to tear her away from someone who could make her happier just because he had arrived here first. He could also be gone tomorrow. So could she. Lots of things could happen. The only steady thing is now. And each moment in that time frame is only a brief second in time.

And he doesn't want her to regret anything here.]
