[There we go. That's the Shu that Gai had trusted to pull through in the end, the Shu he'd told not to change. Even though he may have a way to go before he fully becomes that person, he's already on the right track. It assuages some of Gai's worries, at least.
Rather than respond to that verbally just yet, Gai reaches out... and rests his hand atop Shu's head. It's a bit of an awkward gesture, but Shu should realize by now that Gai has never been very good at expressing affection towards anyone. Just the fact that he's touching Shu at all (in a method that isn't punching) is a rarity.]
