.. what a kind answer, Chizuru can't help but think as she stares at Makoto. Perhaps staring for a moment longer than absolutely necessary, because the unexpected kindness in the way Makoto replies to her does make Chizuru dumbstruck for a moment.

Only a moment, though. It's then that she seems to recover, quickly nodding and opening her mouth to actually reply, rather than only staring in stunned amazement.

"T-Thank you! If you really find it reassuring, then.. um.. I wouldn't mind talking about it again sometime.."

Or about anything, really, if Makoto is always this nice. She sure seems to be.

"You can always call me if you ever need it! It's the least I can do in return for you listening to me so patiently."
