[ It's only the sudden overwhelming feeling of old memories pressing down on her, not her current state of being. She knows this, knows that cognition defines her reality and yet... and yet it still feels like mom won't be there when she goes home. Which is silly. Just because mom isn't on the network doesn't mean she's going to vanish into smoke out of the blue.
...Though if she gives mom an extra tight hug tonight no one would blame her, right? ]

[ Leo can imagine what she's going through, after all those nightmare's he'd had of the workshop fire. He’d been afraid to go home since the revelation that he’d started the fire hit him out in the woods in February. That’s… part of the reason why he’d stayed, instead of going home for a break like everyone else.
That fear had never fully gone away. Sometimes he still wakes up unsure if she’s still there, but. Futaba doesn’t need to know that. So instead of saying so, because Leo has never been good with talking about those things anyway, he nods again and keeps smiling up at her. ]
