[Yosuke should be caught off guard by that hug. He should be baffled and dumbfounded. In some way he is, but it's a distant, unimportant way. Mostly he's just relieved. It's the first time someone's hugged him since he got there, and it feels so good that a lump rises up in his throat too, though he swallows it back down with renewed determination.]
[Without another word, he wraps his free arm around Nill, both extremely pleased to finally have an excuse to brush her wings and mindful of them. The frantic tides of acid stop crashing against the walls of his stomach for the first time in days. The breath he didn't even know he'd been holding that entire time leaks out in a soft sigh, and he almost sags with the loss of tension.]
It's okay.
[He rumbles at her, low and deep in his throat, still buried under that lump he swallowed. It's not okay, not really, but suddenly he feels like there's a ray of sunlight in it somewhere. Nill isn't afraid to touch him. And it makes his heart kick again, this time swollen heavy with love and hope.]
