[belph can't comment on the apparent complications of hikage's partnership with steph (though if he knew, he'd be very thankful for his much simpler relationship with shirasu). he's still not even sure what to think of what he has with hikage.

though maybe they make the perfect duo: someone who wants to crush hope, and someone who left it behind.]

Hmm... if you're going to keep me in suspense, maybe I should keep you in suspense as well...?

But in all seriousness, why do you ask?
