As you's eyelashes finally tremble and lift, he remains preoccupied, a low, disdainful mutter of "Morons" escaping his lips. Only then does he reach out, his fingers grazing a stray lock of hair away from her forehead with a touch that is unexpectedly light. "You've returned to us," he observes, his voice a cool, steady drone.
