[ Yuuri almost forgets herself for a second and replies with some sort of affirmation that yes, this idiot boy wouldn't be capable of sitting still and not getting himself into trouble. But then she catches herself, hastily backspaces -- and finds herself thinking she might just say it anyway.
What she'd said was the truth: Yuuri hasn't spent a full day out of anyone's company since she and her messed up little family left the Fantasy Sweet. It's not like they're all glued at the hip, of course, but at the end of the day they're all still under the same roof. They're all still family.
It's still a little hard to get to sleep some nights now that she's in a bed by herself again.
It wouldn't be like having any of them here. It certainly wouldn't be a replacement. But... talking about Junpei, at least, with someone who knows him. Maybe that would be familiar enough that she won't feel like she's missing an arm anymore.
So after a long pause: ]
Can I ask you something that might seem a little out of nowhere, Akane-san?
[ She knows. She's known ever since Akane introduced herself, but she might as well make it seem less like she's been lying this whole time. ]
