   Summary

   After years into their relationship, Chise is very happy with Elias, save for one thing: he does not want to get closer to her physically.

   Is it because his strange body needs no pleasure of the flesh? Or is there another reason entirely? Probing yields little result, so she has no choice but to search for ways to help him name his desires and his boundaries.

   Fortunately, as it turns out, this is also Elias's chance to help Chise understand herself a little better.
