[The elderly couple's smiles grow fonder, both thanking her back and offering the duo their best wishes for happiness and protection, now addressing them properly as a family. Then finally, the couple excuses themselves and leaves.
However, this also leaves Saito and Mizuki in this weird atmosphere. Her sigh didn't go unnoticed, but he doesn't press the subject of her jealously further. Lest it turns against him in the form of her demanding that he takes off the mask again.
He does detach himself from her, though, letting his arm fall to his side and absent-mindedly contorting the fingers of the hand that was on Mizuki's shoulder as his thoughts go back to the moment his mind wandered.
It's not surprising that his "new world, new me" impromptu excuse he gave Mizuki that day doesn't apply to the idiosyncrasies of his brain even in this new environment. As ironic as it is.]
