[Oh... This is......... nice... It's awkward, but he ends up looping his arms around her as well, returning the hug. When he speaks up again, his voice is very, very quiet.]
It looks like we both upheld our end of the deal... We tried.
Considering everything that has happened and all that this house has put us through, I... I suppose I don't feel right assuming anything anymore.
But... it's nice to hear you say it. I worried for the longest time if I would ever... [If she would ever be able to reach him. Who knows if she had, really.
She doesn't let go, even as her voice trails off, tone growing very quiet.]
[He sounds genuinely surprised. After their last conversation, he thought... Well, this is a good outcome, isn't it? He laughs, just a little bit.]
I'm glad to hear it. I hope your Japanese is up to par. [If she's coming with them, however... He still sounds pleased, but his tone is a bit more sombre when he continues.] ... Though, you'll have to forgive me. I won't have the time to show you the city once we return, if Master Blue allows us to return at the same point in time at all.
The old woman, Akane, was Japanese. I-I... I knew enough to communicate with her fluently, though I might need to brush up on my, um... writing.
[Ah. And there's the confirmation she had feared. She remembers his vague response to the mention of 2017.]
Mmm. It's... it's okay. If they let us cross into another's world at all, I hope it would include changes in time. But even if it can't... I just hope you remember.
... He knows we're three months apart, of course. He did watch me die in December. Something like that is hard to forget. [Even though he still... doesn't quite understand why Akira doesn't hate him despite knowing everything he does.] But the difference in our timelines isn't the only thing you will have to forgive me for, Luna.
[Because, uh.]
Once we return, I plan to turn myself in to the authorities.
[S... Surprise?? Y'all good ended him into trying to take responsibility for his actions.]

[Even if he did go a little nuts a couple hours ago... hmm.]
I'm sorry if I upset you during the trial. But... thank you for trusting me.

His hold on her tightens a little, like a flinch, when she says he's proud of him. Haha, what the fuck...]
Is it truly so surprising, that you must thank me for it...? I told you before. Whether I trusted you or not was not something you had to question.
[He trusts her. He's just fucking obtuse when it comes to talking about his feelings.]

...
I... I want to come to Tokyo. With both of you.

...Akira said he thought you might be doing that.
You're taking charge of what was done under that man who used you, correct?
