[This is. Yeah, kind of a downer. But then a lot of things they remember and that Retrospec makes them deal with kind of is. So this isn't that surprising. It takes a moment, but Yuu does try school his expression back to a smile at that. Because of course he prefers having Mika around too. Sure, he made tentative, mostly temporary sort of acquaintances and friends but with moving around so much, not many were close enough that they stayed in touch the same way he had managed with Mika.

They weren't here now like Mika was. So Yuu would try be strong. Would smile. For him.]

Yeah, course! And I like having you around too, Mika! This is definitely better than just calling or chatting to you.
