While the fourth addition to their group was a man he had seen around for a while now, Sora had never gotten the chance to speak with him before. It seemed like now was as good a time as ever, even if he wasn't his usual chipper self. "Hi. I'm Sora."

At least Hughes wasn't pressing for questions. It just... wasn't the best conversation to have over a meal, not that it looked like most of them were eating, anyway.

Renji grabbed for him then, for a quick, private conversation. That physical contact made him tremble for a moment, just because he knew that Renji understood just how much it hurt.

He was the only one who knew.

Sora swallowed and nodded, making sure he didn't shake too hard. "All right."
