What seemingly began as a lecture ended up somewhere else instead. Maybe she was too defensive around him. It wasn't without good cause (she believed) but how long did she need to hang on to what had happened?
"I'm um ... I'm sorry." She tucked her hair awkwardly behind her ear. "If I worried you."
Mamoru's expression softened at her apology. He offered a small smile.
"You did-- and it's okay. In the future, please take better care if there's any sign you're in a situation of unusual danger like that... You're an irreplaceable part of our family."
Of his family, but that was a bit too personal to say.
Ultimately, that was what it came down to, wasn't it? She had a brother, and she knew how families were like. They argued, they bickered, they pushed each other away. But in the end, they stuck together because that was what families did.

"Thanks ... I will."
