[How can anyone really cope with this sort of thing--or even comprehend it? Minato sure doesn't know. He doesn't have any real words of comfort for Aigis, or any advice.

All he can do is quietly meet her eyes, expression soft.

Those words, at least, Minato understands. Those words... he understands so, so well, because he feels the same exact way.]

... I've missed you too, Aigis. [So, so much more than he could ever put into words.]

It's probably the wrong thing to say in a place like this, but...

[Even if it's something that he shouldn't be saying, because even if Aigis would be so much better off back home.]

... Thank you for being here.

[Because he missed her so, so much.]
