[Fai makes a little helpless noise, shrugging. What does he want? To not marry a girl who feels like a sister to him. To not constantly have people leaning over his shoulder, criticizing everything he is and everything he wants to be. To not have to see Yuui bend himself out of shape to fit what the family wants, just to give Fai more freedom.

He wants all of this, but without disappointing his parents, without making them suffer for his sake, and he's not sure that's possible.]

What I want doesn't matter in the long run, see? [He smiles, bright and careless and in contrast to everything he feels about this. It should be pretty jarring for someone like Armin.] So for a few years, before I have to get married, I'm going to try to be as free and happy as I can. I'll see the world and become a pokémon researcher and make a lot of new friends. That's all I really want. After that, I can do what they need me to do.
