[There's even more of a pause this time as Minato looks at Naoto out of the corner of his eye. He's never been one to ask for a favor from anyone unless it involves things like food (And even then it wasn't so much asking as swiping whatever he could get his hands on), yet now he's asking for a very big favor from someone he barely knows.]
It's not a question. [He once again fails at his attempt to stuff his hands into pockets because there aren't any, and it's really not making things any better.] Yu-san and Kujikawa-san were still here when I left...I don't know if they're still here or if anyone else from the Investigation Team has shown up, but I don't want them to find out about what's happened to me.
[He might not have spoken to either Yosuke or Rise much before he'd left, but he understands that Yu's ties with them were just as unbreakable as the ones he had and that one of them might inevitably ask Naoto about what she knows. To ask this of her is a heavy matter, made even more so by how they barely knew each other...yet he doesn't want any of them to think or act differently around him simply because he's dead.
Maybe it's selfish of him, but being here again like a dream- one that he knows he'll never wake up from.]
