Nico-chan... [Her voice is softer again. Still teasing, but very gently.] You're gonna make me start next.
[She doesn't want Sonico to feel bad about almost-crying. It's always better to see her happy and smiling, of course, but Sonico needs to be Sonico. She's always so genuine and open with her feelings.
It has quite an effect. Suzu goes from feeling like she might start to tear up as well, to returning Sonico's smile with her own. That's the face she wanted to see!
Unfortunately, well. The 'how much did they tell her' topic is still a touchy subject she didn't want to push for too quickly.]
The letter... said something happened, but you guys all survived. And of course, they invited me to come see you!
[There's such an urge to be Suzu-level intense and in-your-face, but she's trying so hard not to for Sonico's sake! The poor girl seems fragile enough today! Instead of OH MY GOD WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED WHY WERE YOU ALMOST DEAD, et cetera, she tones it down to:]
So what happened?! You weren't supposed to be involved in anything too dangerous!
