"Nope! Perfectly planktonic," she teased fondly, snickering at his disbelief. "I'm not interested in romance at all."
Rather, she... can't experience it. Most likely. If... her last attempts were any indication. Trying to pursue something she couldn't do would only end in breaking Takuto's heart and exhausting Kuon even more - definitely not appealing in the slightest.
But maintaining their current friendly closeness? Their collaboration on proving themselves to their worlds? Having each other's backs?
There was no reason to lose that, and sex wouldn't change that dynamic, as far as she was concerned.
"And your affections still lie with another anyway. But that doesn't mean we can't just have sex casually - I've done so a few times and it's great stress relief. Great way to drop cortisol and boost endorphins and oxytocin, after all!"
