Let me guess: this is all his imagination, right? I mean, we've been dragging this whole "I can't ask him / her" thing for 28 chapters already. And there are 201 more chapters left. So there is no way thing isn't going to last for at least 180-190 more chapters, right? Because if characters could communicate in a sane, non-ambiguous way, this manga would have ended on chapter 10 at most.
