I-...I wasn't aware...Uuu... [Zero may not seem too phased, but there's immediate tears in her eyes again when Nei simply imagines how lonely that must have been for him. At least if she was in crystal form there would've been some hope, but completely gone? She wouldn't have been able to handle it if Zero was the one to disappear instead.

Probably not the best time for Zero to close his eyes because Nei decides the best option is to launch herself at him. It's frenzied display of anxious concern as she wraps her arms around the android and presses kisses to his face. Tangled limbs or not, she wishes she could hold on tight and never let go, never be separated.]

I'm sorry, Zero. I'd have never wanted you to go through that...I love you so much, I wouldn't have left you on purpose! I'm here now. [Okay, so maybe she's rambling more for herself than him...]
