It's nice to meet you, too! I'm really relieved to bump into someone else from home. ( The boy's smile warms in response, progressively feeling himself lighten up more and more. It's easy for Shinichi to fall to gloom, given how bleak things are back home.... and then this whole situation has been overwhelming in a way that threatens to swallow him whole, but really, the simple act of meeting someone else who's from his home city is a little dose of much-needed comfort.
