[ He hadn't intended to turn this into a conversation about Yu, but maybe getting filled in about the others here would help Scott feel a little better.

Minato shrugs a bit at Scott's question. ]

The key, nestled within his pocket, weighs heavy as Minato folds his hands in his lap in thought. ]

...I hope I can give it back to him someday.

[ Maybe someday, when seeing that building wouldn't make Yu's chest ache. ]
