At the lifted brow, Suguru slides her thumb out of Satoru's mouth so she can talk, if needed. But she keeps her hand around her throat, thumb now on her pulse point.

"You can't sleep with anyone else while we're doing this," she clarifies. "For practical purposes, mostly. No risk of STIs if you aren't sleeping with anyone else, and we can coordinate much easier." And Suguru doesn't share easily, especially when she's romantically attached to someone; she wants their time and attention. It had been easy when she was the main focus of Satoru's attention, and she hadn't needed to share that, or think deeply about why she hadn't been okay when Satoru started paying more attention to other people.

"I don't know if you're sleeping with anyone on your crew, or have someone around," she adds. "But no jumping between beds."
