[ Yuri simply smiles a little and holds out her hands. They're clean. ]
... I think that depends for each and every person. Whether someone is a friend or not... sometimes, things like that don't have to be said. If you enjoy their company, that could very well mean that you consider them a friend. If I had to describe it... it would be a level of comfort that you're okay with in regards to that person.
I feel comfortable with you and I like talking with you, so I consider you my friend. Though... I'm glad that I can say something like that so freely without being ridiculed for it. Having relationships like this... was considered laughable where I was from.
[ Yuri gently holds Shouxue's hand. It is there to be held. That's what she decided. ]
... Our roles back there don't matter here. It's what I like about this place the most. That's why people are so accepting of others, because some of us understand the isolation that others have felt.
[ her expression softens. shouxue already knows how ready yuri is to leave her old world behind, but it is harder for shouxue to let go of how she was raised. ]
I'm glad you've found so many you can be comfortable with, Yuri. That's the important thing. If you feel less lonely.
[ even if they still have to face murder and more murder. ]

she can understand what yuri is saying on some levels. ]
I am not someone who is supposed to have friends because of my role.
[ ... ]
But recently, I've accepted what I shouldn't, and I don't mind talking with you, too. If that is what makes us friends, we are friends.

Do you want to feel the same, Shouxue?

To feel less lonely? [ she's quiet for a moment. ] It is not a matter of wanting, but I do not know if I could go back to how I was before.
