[She was acting irrational again, and again she was worrying too much. She had never had a very good handle on her emotions. Whatever she was feeling usually was expressed physically, whether through a sudden hug or a fist.
She swallowed and took a breath. Let his familiar scent wash over her.]

I know it's silly now, after we're reunited but I guess I...I just...I wanted nothing more than to hold you then. It was all I could do to not just rush out and tell you that I was alive that I was okay...

But you're right...it's fine now, we're both alive.

[She let out a calming sigh. He was happy, that was fine. That was beyond fine. It was wonderful.]

I interrupted myself again...
[She said, a little embarrassed as she pulled away again. She rotated her body outward to a slightly more comfortable position. Letting her arm fall away as she leaned her head on his shoulder.]
If there's more you want to know, you'll have to keep me on track...
[she giggled a little. She had almost felt erratic all day. Mamoru had always been able to change her mood no matter what. And with everything else, the mood shifts were starting to get exhausting. She thought back to all the information they had shared.]

We didn't have anything like a Messiah switch but... Umie did show up a lot later than the others. Kusatsu and Hasekura were both there before me, and it seemed obvious that they'd be paired up when the time came. I'd had more time to bond with them before Umi arrived. And even then it was a bit rough at first, since I had to learn a whole new way to communicate.
