[ souji doesn't push him to speak, hoping that just his presence can be a form of comfort for yu. he knows that his brother is the more, ah, soft-spoken one and more likely to keep things to himself so he doesn't push anything. he does figure that most of their trip back home would result in silence so when yu finally speaks up, souji just glances at him. he looks back down for a second before he lifts his head ]
I can understand why it'd bother you. It would feel... unfinished, right?
[ souji can't say that he... understands the exact same feelings of frustration that yu is experiencing since he doesn't have back this memory (and he never will) but thinks he has an idea. ]
... like I said, we still don't have the entire picture. It's possible that we were able to still get rid of the fog after we left. We truly won't know until we have our other memories.
[ he keeps referring to the person in yu's memories as "we" because why wouldn't it be them? they're the same. there's no reason to believe otherwise ]

What do you think that we're missing?
no subject
A reason my memories feel different from yours.
[ He can't look at Souji. At this point, it's still more of a hunch, but small things are making him worry that something is just ... wrong.
Wrong with him. ]

... regardless of the reason, whatever we find out, we'll still be brothers. That won't ever change.
[ he reaches out to place a hand on yu's shoulder ]
I promise you.

But he'll sigh through his nose and nod, trying a small smile. ]
I know. Thanks, Souji.
