[It's nice, to feel Minato like this. A warm body in contrast to the evening breeze. To think that this is a moment that can come to pass, once more.]
The sky is different, though. It's much more clearer, and you can still see the stars blinking at daybreak.
[He's done it before, in that fortunate November month, stargazing under the city skylights. There was the Dark Hour too, but he never thought of it much back then, thinking that it was part of a normal that never was supposed to be.]
But it's nice. To know that there are some things that don't change, no matter where you are.

But you're here now.
[ He's here now, where he'll stay until the sun rises. ]
We'll wait for the sun. Together.
