[Well, luckily for Josh, Ryoji's never actually been sick before, so a little crying probably didn't have much of a chance in changing that.]
I was hoping you'd remember something eventually... because you had your scars, and that meant that it needed to be the you I was familiar with. [And not Pink, or some kind of other Joshua from another dimension entirely.] But even when Souji-san returned, it took him over a month to remember anything... so I tried not to get my hopes up too much.
[The possibility that Josh might have not remembered anything at all was also always there. But now that Ryoji knew that it didn't turn out to be the case... he lets Joshua pull away, giving him a smile of his own. He's still too shaken up to do anything else.]
...I do, don't I? I really need to learn how to handle my emotions better.
[At least he was crying out of happiness, not sadness.]
