[Rei smiles gently and slides an arm up to wrap around Makoto's. This did feel alright. It was nice, really, the three of them together.]

I...never did either, but I can't really argue with the benefits. [Closes her eyes.] Thank you for suggesting it, Ami. I've been...wracking my brain for a solution for weeks. But this feels...nice. Right, in a way.

[Sighing softly, she turns and looks over at the other two.]

I think we can manage this. Nothing would make me happier than to see both of you enjoying yourselves, and I feel...like the same is true for you as well. But that's just a hunch.
