[She tries to look a little sheepish, as if it hadn't occurred to her just how odd the question might be, but she doesn't pull it off well.
His response is actually a lot different than what she was expecting. He looked a little older, but... 17? May?
Senpai had come from a world where something horrible happened, and he thought about it frequently; Nill was certain he'd never made it to May. The boy she'd left behind in the Port had seen November as his last month in his world, also about 17 by that point in his world. And the one who had been in Exsilium before... she had no idea what point in time he was from, only that it was probably earlier than this version of him. Which meant...
Maybe, somehow, this Yosuke would have a future in his own world if he ever made it back there. A good one. Maybe his world wasn't going to only lead horrible places.
Nill smiles, and though it's warm, she has to blink back tears.]
May is a good month-- I like it. And 17 is a good age.
