"Well. For starters. Recall that it's not your spouse's fault, and show them as much consideration as they can- odds are good they likewise would be dealing with dashed hopes. For example, if, say, the Deer were to pair me with Kakita Reina, I cannot imagine her being much happier with the result than I- and I would do what I could to lessen her burdens in that event."
Sip.
"As for a happy life... not to put too fine a point on it, Soyokaze-san, but you have no experience with a happy life that I'm aware of, so I think you know how to handle it."

"But I have known happiness, for the first time in my life, and it is because of her. There are a few here I could be with and not hate but as you said they have hopes of their own and I don't imagine I am part of them. I have seen what a loveless marriage can do to children, I don't want to continue that cycle but..." His emotions were fighting to break free but he swallowed hard and fought against them.

"Did you never wonder where those loveless marriages came from?"
Sip.
"Oh... speaking of.... cycles. I have something of an idea, but one I'm... ill-suited to carrying out."
He then whispered something- like he was trying to keep his gunso from hearing- before smiling blandly.
"I don't suppose you might know someone a bit more adept than I?"

Soyokaze's eyes widen then narrow mischievously.
"I might, I think you may know them as well but he is...hard to read. He's as likely to do it as spend an hour warning me against it."

Soyokaze's lowered his head into his hands. "Seppun aside I don't know if I am ready for this. No, I KNOW I am not ready for this."
