Koumei knew he was at risk if Shunsui escaped, since there was no way he could separate the man from his weapons, but that was a risk he was willing to take.

...Then I wish it was so simple at home, [He continued. Then:] Sorry...
[The last word was barely a whisper before he pressed his lips upon Shunsui's, sharing his dreams and regrets without holding back. He was only comfortable in the darkness because he knew how hard it was to not give up hope no matter how dark the path gets.
For the stars, in their boundless passage across the sky, always flickered high above on even the darkest nights.]
