[The answer doesn't deter Shinya. If anything, it's encouraging: Gino hadn't said no, I want to move out.]
Duty chains all of us down. [Not the most flattering metaphor, and not exactly true either, in Kougami's case. He doesn't think of his duties as terribly restrictive. It's different for Gino, and really, that's the issue here.] But...how should I put this? Even prisoners can move around in their chains. Their degree of movement just depends on their creativity, and their determination.
[Shinya is quite self-aware. He's long ago realized what it is that he felt for Gino: desire, low-burning but constant and intense. If there's even a chance that he can keep Gino by his side, then Shinya will seize it without hesitation.]
