[Yuuto’s grip doesn’t waver. He holds her tight while she cries, praying the entire time that Ryoko can be okay. He’s so scared. He’s terrified of going to sleep and leaving her, because now that she mentioned ‘turning’ he’s aware that she could be gone when he wakes up. Yuuto was so selfish and childish in asking Ryoko to look out for Inaba… He should have been brave and reached out himself. He should have realized that he only said ‘goodbye’ because he was a coward, who couldn’t handle the pain of being rejected.

He’s so stupid and Ryoko is paying for it.]

… hm?

[Oh. Right. Snow.

Yuuto nods over her shoulder.]

Yeah. It is… You’re warm, though.

[She’s always been so warm and kind. He’s always been taking that from her, even when he lies to himself and pretends that he’s useful to her. Yuuto has been making Ryoko so cold.

He offers to break the hug if she’s ready.]

… I’ll visit her myself. It’s not your job to convey my feelings, Ryoko. I’m sorry. I didn’t want to notice.
