[ It is difficult to remove your own expectations of yourself. Ever since the death of her parents, Ayaka has been working hard to become a proper lady, and has since become a bit of a perfectionist. She doesn't demand perfection of others, only of herself, so that she can be someone people can trust, someone her brother can rely on, and someone who would make her mother proud.
If she is hard on herself, it is because there is no room to disappoint others. Especially not after Ayato's own death, where she found herself upset with herself for not being able to help both Ayato and Thoma when they needed family most. These thoughts needn't be said out loud. Ayaka's gaze momentarily shows regret and pain upon hearing Childe's words, because she can't not be hard on herself after everything. She is not pessimistic, though, and will do her best to become better moving forward.
Sorry this got personal, Childe. ]
Hm... [ Ayaka moves on, however, smiling as she thinks of a question to ask. What is a difficult question to answer, but will also give her a better insight of the man before her? ] If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
