[... It's true. He's alive. Dextera's alive, he's back, and while Minato knows better than anyone that that doesn't erase the death he went through...
He's still so relieved.
He doesn't have much time to react to the door shut immediately in his face, taken off-guard as he is...but when Dextera opens the door again, Minato's expression just softens, and then he steps forward enough to take Dextera's hand between his own two hands, bringing it to his forehead and dragging in a shuddering breath.
Nobody should ever have to die. Minato believes that firmly, certainly. But especially Dextera, who is already so sad, who's doing his best, and who, in a moment of selfishness too Minato thinks, is an important friend.]
... Thank goodness...
[He can only breathe that out softly, eyes sliding shut.]
