[More than anything, Namazuo wants to believe him. He wants so badly to cast aside all pessimism and believe that they'll succeed, no matter the odds. But he isn't that naive, and after what he'd seen, fear and doubt are clouding out his bright, forward-facing determination.
But... "together". Out of everything, that's the word that hits him the hardest. Together. They aren't dealing with this alone. Haru is here, they're here, and somewhere out there, so are the others. He can't believe anything else, or he'll break.
So he nods. He doesn't say "I know we will" or "We can do it", but he nods. He trusts Kashuu. And he trusts in all of them. And for now, that's enough.]
Heh... this is kind of silly, isn't it.
[The fact that Kashuu is the one comforting him, when he's the brother/grandpa waki/more mature one of the two (you know it's true). But it helps.
He sniffs, turning his face just a little more into Kashuu's shoulder.]
