Beryl:
Satoshi bit his lip a little. Actually, those two were people he hadn't spoken to in a while, which is why he was curious about a bit more detail than just the monotonic responses Yukino was giving.

He tugged at her arm a little. "Hey. I know you're worried now, but I'm still here. As long as I'm still here, don't let this bother you, alright? Maybe Fortuna will report something at the next Council of Cray meeting that helps getting better preparations together."

He went from tugging to a gentle touch. He didn't want to give a romantic impression at all, because Haruka was too ingrained in her for that to be the case ever---

Actually, another thought crossed his mind. His brows lowered a bit as he thought of it, and he wasn't intending to speak his mind out loud, but...

"They've been around each other a lot recently. They seem pretty happy." He sat next to her, still gripping her arm so she knew it was still him that was there. "I know they both missed you."

Cherry:
Yugure gripped at her arms, seeming a bit furious with the comment "I'm still here". Telling him why that gives no comfort wouldn't make sense, and she just kept it to herself. Giving a sigh, "It's my job to let it bother me" came out of her mouth. A warrior and a friend - both of these roles meant dealing with this problem fell under assigned duty. If the Cray Council could figure something out this time, she'd sure love to hear about it. Possibly restore a bit of hope in winning.

Haruka and Hana seeing each other so much didn't cross her mind as anything odd. The woman enjoyed knowing her boyfriend took care of the princess and bettered his relationship with the family.

"Missed me, huh?" Yugure said, tone filled with distant disbelief. Despite looking as if she had fun, Hana rushed off quickly after their day in the park. Haruka... was busy. Just busy, they wanted to believe. Unlike them, she was more of a realist - a pessimist.

Beryl:
"Yeah. We all did." Satoshi noticed her distance in matters was making Yukino cold to his touch. He sighed. It's not like he could really convince her things were going to be fine otherwise. Last time he had tried, she had severed himself off from the rest of the world and had almost killed herself jumping off of King Europe's structure.

"Though, I guess I'm no expert, either." He gave the best little laugh he could muster. "I haven't spent much time with either of them since I've been back...they've seemed so happy, they don't need me anymore." To a degree, he could understand some of the pessimistic "I shouldn't be here" thoughts that Yukino was likely experiencing. Maybe she didn't think the same because they had different experiences, but even so.

Cherry:
"They made it through the year with moving forward. That's admirable in itself... Doesn't mean I have to be okay with it", Yugure mumbled that last bit to herself. It's to be expected, but it was hard accepting those two in particular felt far away. She herself was far away as it was. ... Maybe they simply moved on to the point of not caring? A departure with or without silence could result in that, especially considering how she acted toward Hana.

... The past Yukino was a prime example of human scum, so Yugure had to be better. As far as the soldier was concerned, not saddling a multitude of personal problems on others is a step in doing better already. A little smirk of pride in this progress was given.

Beryl:
"You can move forward without leaving people behind."

This whole "moving forward" thing had been bothering Satoshi, and that was what he had come to regarding it. It's not that it was wrong to go towards the future, but to completely leave people down and away...how was that remotely fair or reasonable?
