I wanted to ask how you're doing. I understand if you do not wish to talk about it, given the reason for this date's significance and our circumstances. But I'm concerned and so I would like to know of your status.
Seems like everyone wants to know how I'm doing. It's nice of you guys, thank you. I'm okay, just... holding out until midnight. Koromaru is with me too, so I'm not alone.
Even though we come from different iterations of our world, the memories we have in common make me feel as if you're still part of the team. I think the others may feel similarly.
[A small pause.]
And I care about your well-being. I don't want you to feel lonely.
I'm glad that Koromaru-san is keeping you company. He's very skilled in dealing with matters of companionship, isn't he?
Yeah. I just... I don't want to make you guys feel like you have to be my friend, I guess. But someone told me I should be patient and he's right. I don't want you to feel like you need to rush anything or feel obligated to.
But I would very much like to be part of the group again.
Ha, yes, he is. He hasn't really left my side all day.
[ it shouldn't be surprising that yukari can practically hear his field leader tone of voice when she reads "let's move forward," although she's never seen him in that mode at all. responding in kind feels like instinct. ]
right lets keep moving! all we have to do is wait for midnight, make sure nothing happens, and then fall asleep easiest operation ever
[Hm. She does have to examine her own feelings for a moment. The emotions regarding Minako's situation are already so complicated, so full of things she doesn't yet understand. Minato's existence adds another layer to them; she has to try to dig beneath that heavy layer of guilt to uncover what she should say here.]
Truthfully, my feelings are complicated. But I don't consider this an obligation. I want to be there for you, Minato-san.
So please feel free to message me at any time. Especially if you desire further conversation tonight. I will be awake to monitor the situation anyway, so I would be happy to talk.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I'm sure Minako felt the same.
