[ They're both being totally uncool, but.. well, at least it's not much of a change of pace in that respect. They're never actually cool, no matter what they might think. ]
Nothing strange happened while you were gone, right? I mean-- was it a long time for you? [ Minako knows time works somewhat weirdly between this world and all others.. ]
[ They set the standard for being simultaneously uncool and cute at the same time, these two. ]
I guess it kinda depends on what you mean by strange. It was about like, fourteen months or something? [ It was a bit disorienting, but he figured out what was up eventually once he got back. ]
[ She semi-nervously plays a little with the necklace she's wearing as she thinks about it. Really, what she's trying to ask is if something changed enough for him to go hasta la vista Minako, but she's not confident enough (despite usual appearances) to actually ask him that outright. ]
[ When she says that, he has to take a moment to think (if only he could predict the future right now and make her aware of his oncoming personal crisis). ]
Nothing like that, I don't think. It was mostly like, business as usual at home. Some political stuff, but that's not really new.
[ He's really trying to think here, but the fact that nothing is coming to mind should be a sign, perhaps? ]
.. That's good. [ That nothing big and bad happened, at least, or the landlord would have pulled a double cruel move.. but then this means that even if it's been a while for him compared to how long it's been for her, he hasn't changed really badly. In fact, he's pretty much still the way she remembers him - just still the usual dork. ]
I know you are, but I'm-- well.. [ Not as strong as she pretends to be? Or that's what Minako herself thinks, anyway, but saying it out loud feels too much like making it real, so she can't really force it out. ]
.. Nevermind. I'm just really glad you're back. I mean, I know we said we'd be fine either way, but.. I don't know. It's just nice, having you here again.
[ There's something a little calming about the touch, Minako can tell that much. Like it's just going to be okay again. Like no one will remember how embarrassing she was over him leaving, like it will be like he never even left.. ]
Even if it'd be weird, I don't think I can stop being weird in that case. [ Because she can't not feel glad that he's back here, as selfish as it might be.
There's a small last moment of hesitation, but then she softly pries her hand out of his, instead practically tackling him with the way she hugs him. ]

I was.. a little worried. I guess, hehe.

But if he had forgotten her, well. He'd just have to spend time getting to know her again. Either way, he's happy to be back. ]

[ Still fretting with her hair a little. ]
That's not weird, right?

It's not weird. I mean, I know this is kinda unusual, the whole thing, but I don't think it's weird to think it's nice we're together again, yeah?
