What I mean to say is that it seems highly unlikely at this point. Of course, one can never be entirely certain, but I do think their relationship has settled into something distinctly — although rather intensely — platonic.
You may be aware that I've been cursed with the burden of close friendship with Adrían Aldona. Why I was chosen to suffer in this particular way remains unclear, but that's beside the point. He is, perhaps unfortunately, my closest friend here. And sometimes — though not often, and usually when I am feeling less than charitable — his closeness with others can make me feel momentarily insecure about the nature of our own relationship. Are they closer? Why does our bond not resemble the one he shares with P xyz person?
But comparing one relationship to another is a reliable path to madness, particularly when the other bond in question is founded on something as deep and inexorable as the connection Domingo and Maryle share. You are also important to her; you just share a very different kind of relationship.
Nishad, my boy, they ought to study you for science. An entire paper devoted to the particular masochism required for one's focus to shift from Séarlait to Maryle. Frankly, you'd stand a better shot of avoiding prolonged emotional torture with a gun in your hand.

I feel as though I must clarify something: my relationship with Domingo is [...] entirely platonic. He is an old friend.
Nini.
Why would that need clarification, Nikola?
