[She's not sure she believes that at all. But Shiho won't hold too tightly to Maya's hand, keeping her own grip loose, ready to let Maya withdraw from all this if neede.
[ It's fine; Maya doesn't draw back, and Shiho can pick up all sorts of things just a shallow level. Contentment, that they're having girly bonding. Curiosity, still (always). Happiness, that Shiho trusts her enough for this, and a warm trust of her own.
But just underneath all of this is something like... bittersweet nostalgia. As though Maya's recalling something from this, something she can never return to. ]
[What embarrassing, embarrassing feelings. Shiho's expression twists into something that is trying desperately not to be bashful.
It helps that underneath there's something bittersweet lurking and so she... lets go. That's too far to go into something she shouldn't be looking at.]
.....Is everyone here like this, or something? You're all so embarrassingly honest. You, Minato, Kaoru-chan.... everyone. [never mind that's only actually three people.]
