"Yuuko-san?" Watanuki said uncertainly. She looked at the face of the boy she'd left years ago when she died, and it was the same face. She lifted a hand and brushed it across his cheek, biting back what she wanted to say-- the scolding, the disbelief, the honest anger that he had pined away an existence that she had worked so hard to give to him.
But it had been his choice. And Yuuko wouldn't disrespect a choice, even dangerous or sad or ones that seemed wrong to her. Without choices, we weren't human.
"Here I am," she said softly, instead, and his smile lit up her world.
She'd missed him too.
