[Unfortunately for Otonashi, his existence right at this very moment negates any worry that Hinata is caught in a time loop. He hadn't been here the first time Hinata awoke in the afterlife, so the redhead showing up like this was actually a huge relief! What a helpful guy, setting Hinata's mind at ease like that!]
[Nevermind that it was totally unintentional.]
Otonashi-kun!
[In his excitement, he rushes over, clamping his hands down on the other boy's shoulders.] You're here..! [Wait. If his memory could be trusted, Naoi and Yuri had gone, then him, then it was supposed to be Kanade and Otonashi. So... did that mean Otonashi never left?] But why..?
[Calming some, his expression takes on a more serious edge.] And... I'm here? [Hinata's powers of observation were as sharp as ever, stating the obvious. Thankfully it's not just him being an idiot this time, he has reasonable cause to be confused.]
