[Oh, Hanako definitely knows a thing or two about self-sabotage-- perhaps it isn't as bad as Ango's and definitely not as bad as it is in canon, but there's a reason why he's dragged his feet so much about opening up to people in the first place. So he'd be able to sympathize, at least to a degree.

... except this involves Ai. And with everything she has on her shoulders, both in the public eye and out of it, the last thing she needs is some grungy raccoon man hanging off of her like goldfish poop. He shoots Ango a look of utter disbelief, trying to figure out if he was being genuine in that outburst or if this was some weird form of boasting about his totally-never-happening-relationship. Maybe both??]

Are you bragging...? It sort of sounds like you're bragging to me.

I mean, yeah, it sounds pretty corny, but I think you have bigger problems on your hands here than turning into a wife guy.
