[And this is the point where Natsuru's cheeks start to turn very pink. Because the way Kairi's saying that, it sounds... well, like she's asking about people Natsuru might be particularly close to. And while that's certainly true of her with Maria in one sense, she doesn't want anyone to get the wrong idea!]

W-Well, Maria-sama's important to me! And... I think we're pretty close. But it's not...

[She hums thoughtfully, buying herself time to finish that thought.]

It's like... we're family now. And I have some friends that are really important to me, too.

But no one... that close. Not yet.

[Whether Kairi meant it this way or not, Natsuru's meaning of "that close" is clear from her tone. The 'not yet' is almost wistful, too... she's not opposed to the idea by any stretch. But it is difficult to meet someone like that, as a shinki. Or perhaps she already has her eye on someone and they haven't noticed her yet?]

How about you?

[Kairi reminds her a little of Masaki already, and talking about this sort of thing was always easy with her.]
