[ Yu echoes that quietly, with no intention of really continuing that line of thought. But it does remind him of a number of things. Things he'd kind of let fall by the wayside while he was getting swept up in all that was happening. He'd had so many girls interested in him back in Inaba... he'd even had a girlfriend, technically, even if that had been a pretend/temporary thing, technically. But there had been a reason he'd ended up never pursuing anything, or turning down anyone who approached him... a reason he'd walked away from poor Yumi, a reason he'd held off on hugging Rise, a reason he'd told Yukiko they were friends.
Forming attachments when he was just going to leave hadn't felt right. But what's any different about this place? In fact, isn't the risk even greater here? He won't even have any control over whether or not he might leave...
Or whether Minato might leave.
At the same time... Minato isn't quite like anyone else he's ever been interested in before, is he?
He has a lot to think about. In the meantime, he thinks he can tell why it is Hiro's actually called him out here. His smile fades, his expression returning to neutral as he watches Hiro thoughtfully.
In the end, he doesn't agree or disagree. Just ducks his head, trying to catch Hiro's eye, nodding for him to go on. Something about his body language says: It's alright, Hiro. ]
