"Hey, Yusaku," Miyu began, jumping down from where she had previously been perched on the desk. "Is it really okay if I stay here?"

Here would've seemed vague to anyone else, but Yusaku liked to think over the past few days he'd gotten to know the girl fairly well - at least, as well as he'd usually let himself get to know someone. Like with Takeru before her, he found it easier to open up to her due to the fact that she understood. As another victim of the Lost Incident, Yusaku never felt guarded around Miyu the same way he did around outsiders.

Here, in this case, referred to with the group, Yusaku knew.

"If it wasn't fine, I wouldn't be here right now," he told her bluntly, turning away from his computer to face her. "You are one of us. You always have been." He didn't say these things necessarily to comfort her; more so Yusaku just spoke the truth. She was a victim like the rest of them, and she wanted to do her part in helping clean up the mess Lightning and Windy had created.

Despite the reason behind his words, Miyu smiled at them all the same. "It's not weird for you, me being here even when Aoi isn't?"

Yusaku sighed, turning back to his computer. This entire time, she had been under the impression that he was… close, with other people, when that couldn't have been farther from the truth. Over the past days that he'd been around Miyu, he'd realized she was a girl who, despite the things that had happened to her, tried to look at the best in life and continue on as best she could.

She hadn't realized, Yusaku supposed, that he was… not like that, yet. "It's fine," he replied. "Stop worrying."

Miyu brightened considerably at his words, and Yusaku couldn't help but think of the sun as she did.
