[He knows how it looks. He's cried more since the maze than he did the whole year he was in Tokyo, and he's hardly left his apartment. He's getting better, he thinks, but he's well aware it doesn't look especially healthy. It's part of why he's trying to follow Kotone's energy and not turn tail and slink away.]

Either way, she keeps leading the way without further comment, deeper into the trees. He'll be able to feel the humidity start rising, and some awfully familiar architecture coming into view -- a Japanese-style open-air bath.]
Astralin-san worked really hard on this. I think he'll open it officially soon, but for now... it should just be us. [She gives him a smile and a raise of her eyebrows. Worth leaving the house for?]
