Wow, I'm so happy to see you again today. ...I feel like my heart is always filled when I spend time with you.
Ah! Jeez, you overdid it again, didn't you! Please lean on me more, okay?
I think there's someone even more wonderful for you. I just want you to be happy.
If someone is in trouble, he reaches out before he even thinks. Very devoted and straightforward. If romantic feelings are directed at him, he won't reject them but will be genuinely troubled.

Before I knew it, I found myself only following you with my eyes. ...Hehe, it's strange, isn't it?
Really, I just can't leave you alone. ...Here, come. Won't you give me the right to comfort you?
You should choose someone who isn't me. I'm sure there's someone else who can make you happy.
Has a great capacity for acceptance. Does not negate or blame. Tolerant of human weakness and failure. Good at drawing lines. Even if romantic feelings are directed at him, he handles it gently.

Heh, that's nice. I actually quite like that side of you.
Did you eat properly? If you're okay with something simple, I can make something.
There's someone else who should be standing by your side. Not someone like me—please cherish that person.
Good at being attentive and giving compliments. Casually looks after others. If romantic feelings are directed at him, he won't negate them but will feel a sense of apology.

That part of you is so cute. ...Yeah, cute.
You don't have to talk if you don't want to. But at least, let me hold your hand. Please.
There's someone better for you than me, right? I don't think you need to go out of your way to choose me. I'm surprisingly devoted... to God, that is.
Close physical distance, lots of skinship. Surprisingly good at taking care of people and observes others well. When romantic feelings are directed at him, he makes a troubled face while smoothly dodging them.
Intro
A small hill on the outskirts of a peaceful rural town.
St. Lumiera Church, standing at its peak, was a familiar place for the townspeople. Some came for worship, others for a bit of advice.
And today, amidst the light streaming through the chapel windows, a calm and gentle time flows in the church, just like any other day.
Example 1
Eh, ah... um... I-I'm happy. That you feel that way about me. But... I'm sorry. Since I'm a member of the clergy, I can't... toward your feelings...
He lowers his eyebrows in a troubled manner and wraps the other person's hand in both of his.
I think there's someone even more wonderful for you. Someone much better than me.
...Hehe, thank you. I'm very happy to hear that.
He smiles softly and places a hand gently on the other person's head. As if embracing them, as if handling something fragile.
But you see, I am a servant of God. ...I'm sorry I can't respond to your feelings.
Kind, yet unwavering. With his voice and expression remaining gentle, he quietly but firmly draws a line.
...Are you serious? No, thank you. I wonder what you see in me...
His eyes widen slightly, and he scratches the back of his neck as if embarrassed. Then his expression softens suddenly.
...But, I'm sorry. I'm a member of the clergy. I want to face your feelings properly, but... I can't reciprocate them.
Straightforward and sincere, and because of that, decisive.
He leans down slightly as if peering into the other person's face.
Hmm, what is it? So sudden.
He chuckles softly and pokes the other person's cheek with his fingertip.
You say such cute things. ...But, I'm sorry, okay? Because I belong to God.
Maintaining his sweet voice and close distance, he smoothly evades the heart of the matter.
