[He can't help but think that in a sense, this is the third introduction now. The first, with her perched above him while cleaning, Yamato's callused hand clutching his own tight, a faint bustling being heard from other rooms. And then again, after she'd been killed and she came back without memories... but it hadn't been like this. She'd still been a goddess. She hadn't been as vulnerable as this.

Then again, a sudden insight whispers, maybe as a goddess she was just a lot better at not showing her weaknesses. Maybe with at least some of her memories, she'd had more reason to.

Either way, he has to change how he talks to her a bit, but he can still show her the kindness she'd always shown him.]

I'm sure they'll find you soon, Ayu-nee. [And he'll keep at least part of the way he'd addressed her before.] And regardless of who it is, you'll always be welcome to our temple too, okay?
