[For both names to be important, the hallucinations they've been having must bear some great significance. Kouyuki isn't certain he's comfortable with that realization, however. In fact, he knows that he isn't. If, somehow, that person is just as real as he is, what does that make him?
He doesn't want to be anything like a bear-killer, or to be as obsessed with perfection or so full of feelings of insecurity as Shirou Fubuki seems to be...
...but maybe he already is?
While he's never killed a bear before, he's always approached sports with an unrelenting and single-minded determination. He'd never say perfection is his goal, but constantly raising the bar and improving always has been. But they're not dissimilar, those things. And neither is his fear of accepting that Shirou might be as real or as important as him. Maybe he's more insecure than he cares to admit?]
