I'd like to get to know you. You're... [Even soaking wet with his barely-drying hair beginning to look unkempt and frizzed, Tatsumi can't help thinking Mayoi is one of the most beautiful creatures he's ever seen.] ...You're different from anyone else I've ever met, and I don't intend to treat you like a servant.
