[ Even with that swift reassurance, it's too late. The damage has been done. Yoichi's lip trembles. He looks stricken, aghast at having even maybe, possibly at all implied that Guren showing up is anything less than a miracle, that he's not all kinds of glad and relieved to see his commanding officer alive and well.
The pile of envelopes in Yoichi's arms trembles, too. Yoichi's just barely holding himself back, torn about what to do — should he keep trying to gather the envelopes up, abandon them entirely, something else?
In the end, he opts for dropping the whole pile of them without a care for their contents at all.
With his arms empty, it leaves him free to fling himself at Guren. Forget propriety or being a little scared of Guren, he's too relieved to remember manners right now. Guren is getting hugged whether he likes it or not. And probably gifted with a little snot and tears on his shirt as the waterworks kick in. ]
I'm— I'm sorry, but... we thought you were dead. We thought we left you! And you're alive, it's definitely not a bad thing!
