Whew, at least this means she's out of the crying danger zone.. right? Because he sure doesn't know how to deal with crying girls, and Yuki's a lot cuter when she smiles, so his shoulders start to feel a little less tense when she starts talking about that. See, this is something constructive - something they can work on, at least. If she wants her brother, then he'll sure to hell find her brother in this place if it'll get her to smile again instead of making a sad face like that.

"Nah, you never mentioned your brother to me before." Her friends, though, and maybe her brother was just somehow included in that group.. he never did ask many details about it, if not just out of a sheer fear of upsetting her again.

"What does he look like? C'mon, ya shouldn't lie around there like that!" If not just because like hell he's going to let shady guys take advantage of her, she was almost like a little sister to him last time around. Even if she apparently already has a brother, whoops. "Let's go look for him together."
