Short summary: Rena asks Yuki to trust.
When everyone does their best to leave Rena and Yuki alone, Rena can see just how much Yuki wants to run away and grabs Yuki’s left hand. Just because the truth has come out, it doesn’t mean things are easier. So much time has been spent lying; so many words have been lies or half-truths. Of course Rena understands why and forgives Yuki. Of course Rena still loves Yuki.
She just wants Yuki to love herself a bit more. Not just “living life to the fullest because it’ll be gone”. But to truly love and appreciate herself.
“Yuki… Can you trust yourself?” Rena asks, keeping her hold on Yuki’s hand steady. “Please?”
Yuki doesn’t try to let go, but she looks away. “Rena…”
Silence passes between them. The warm breeze of the Oasis is neither judgmental nor comforting.
“Well, at least you aren’t trying to lie,” Rena says after a few minutes pass. She pats Yuki’s head softly with her left hand. This causes Yuki to look up at Rena with a slight blush.
“It’s okay. You don’t have to change everything right away.”
“Thanks…”
Yuki takes a step closer, burying her face into Rena’s chest. Rena’s left hand moves from the top of Yuki’s head to Yuki’s back. She holds Yuki close, protectively.
Because opening oneself to trust makes one vulnerable, and Rena will do whatever she can to support Yuki, now and forever.
