[ The return of the embrace, strong arms holding him desperately, does startle him. While this level of physical proximity would usually be something he would reject, he doesn't feel any such inclination today, his body relaxing into the boy's arms, allowing himself to be held. Megumi cannot see the boy's face, but he can feel a slight dampness at his shoulder, like there's a hint of ... tears? That makes his eyes widen, and he glances briefly at the head resting on his shoulder. He doesn't know what exactly Yuuji had seen in that hallucination, but perhaps it was enough for the dam to break open, all those pent up emotions pouring out like floodwater. He wants to be here for him in this moment. ]
... I was planning on doing that. [ He didn't even need to be asked. That was his intention right from when Yuuji dropped his bag onto the floor. It's in Megumi's nature to want to take over, assume responsibility, and that goes tenfold when his friends are too compromised to keep going.
Naturally, he has his guard switched on for any potential threats given the turf war, but he otherwise gives Yuuji his full attention, gentle fingers still brushing through his hair. Take all the time you need, is what that implies. Though he doesn't make mention of it, he really doesn't think there's any need to apologise for depending on a friend. ]
