[hydrophile]

They're going to be fine. I won't let anything happen to them.

[BUT...]

I said they're going to be fine.

...Haru-chan.

[hydrophile]

Yes?

[oniisans]

-it's nothing. Sorry for worrying you. And, um. Whoever you're talking to.

[hydrophile]

...you need to be more careful.

[He understands, to be honest. He would have done the same thing if he saw Rei in a situation like that. But goddammit, Makoto, do you have any idea of how he feels?]

[oniisans]

[He opens his mouth to begin to protest, to joke around, but can't really bring himself to. He was so scared.]

Yeah. I just panicked when I saw Rei was missing... My body moved instinctively.

It'll be okay though, right?

[hydrophile]

Of course it'll be okay.

[He's trying to convince himself of that, at least.]

[oniisans]

[He's trying to believe it too, it's okay. But after a minute, Makoto chuckles quietly.]

Of course it will. Especially if Haru-chan says so.

[And then he looks away, a thoughtful look on his face. He's still not really over it, but if he doesn't stop to think about it any more, he should be okay.]

Although, we should keep an eye on Rei, to make sure he doesn't try anything again, huh?

[hydrophile]

We should, but I don't think he will do this again.

[The situation is probably scary enough to dissuade Rei from that. And if it isn't, Haruka is going to have to talk with him.]
