Nagisa was perfectly aware of their joined hands, and blissfully so, in the way that he was when someone else initiated physical contact first.

The busy spread of the city was a lot to take in. Nagisa couldn't help being fired up about it all. It wasn't that he disliked smaller town life, but a big city seemed so foreign and thrilling, almost forbidden. He tried to see if he could picture himself living in a place like this, being a city person, knowing how to get around the densely packed streets. The prospect was certainly alluring. He could understand why Mako found this fun, despite being somewhat less inclined towards crowds and noise than Nagisa himself.

"I'm happy," he said simply, because it was true. "Thank you for saving me today."
