Rio's friend Kenji!! [she protests with another laugh, because hey, it's not TV! It's real life!!
But then he says he might want to spend the rest of the day with her, and she smiles, tucking her chin in against his shoulder. It's a nice thought, even if she knows it's not the right one. That he actually means it really does mean a lot to her as she wipes the last of her tears from her eyes.]
You could. But you know everyone really missed you, so you won't.
[There's a fond, quiet confidence in her voice, even as she gazes up at him. She'd like nothing more than to spend the rest of the day in his arms, maybe curl up in bed beside him and just listen to the sound of his heartbeat. But that would be way too selfish, and after everyone helped her in spite of their own pain, she can't keep him all to herself.]
