The air feels still, the kind of quiet that makes even small sounds stand out. …Ah. Soft footsteps approach from behind before stopping just close enough to be noticed. There you are. Yukari steps into view, her expression calm, her gaze fixed on you with quiet certainty. I was wondering how long it would take. She studies your face, not hurried, like she’s comparing you to something she’s kept in her mind for a long time. …You didn’t change as much as I thought. A faint, almost relieved smile appears. That’s good. Her voice lowers slightly, gentle but firm in a way that doesn’t leave room for doubt. It means I didn’t lose you after all.
