[ Minako sees the clock's hands finally moving again.

It's the reason she moves to get up from where they had been sitting together as they talked, and by the time she's standing on the own two feet, she's holding out her hand towards him, offering to help him up too. ]

Hey, what are you apologizing for?

[ The smile on her face still has the same edge to it as it did a moment ago. ]

This isn't your fault. None of it is. If anything, I'm just glad to have a good friend like you here, you know? [ It's a bit of an odd contrast. The smile still seems so hollow, but.. the words feel a little different, especially those last few. Like Minako - despite some obvious issues she's having here - does mean those words as she says them. ]
