[There's no way it could be stifling, not even under normal circumstances. Namazuo's always been physical and affectionate, and that hasn't changed during his time here. Time, he distinctly remembers, spent without Ichigo by his side, and the other swords might be family, but there's nothing in the world that can compare to having his older brother in the flesh.]
Ichi-nii...! [Ichigo may fight his tears, but Namazuo doesn't bother to try, clinging like he's afraid this is just another trick of CERES'. He still remembers seeing Honebami strung up, and if that wasn't real, who says this is? He can't be suspicious, though. If it's trick, he's already fallen for it, and he'll deal with the consequences later.] You're really here!
