Shiho's grip doesn't loosen even as she pops back into the real world, her world. Made all the more real and hers at the feeling of his arms around her and the comforting presence of his thoughts, of dizzying relief and worry and anger.
It's well-known by this point that the first thing Shiho always does when she's back from a long mission is to go to Tetsuo's place. He was home, a reminder of everything she had to lose and everything she had waiting for her once the world was safe. She takes a breath and feels herself tearing up out of relief that she was back here with him, out of worry that she'd caused him any amount of anxiety. She nods, trying not to sniffle as she turns to press a kiss to the palm of his hand before pressing her hand over his.
She doesn't look hurt, but definitely looks much less put-together than she normally does, her hat askew, hair messy and her throat dry because she'd conserved what water she had.
Kaoru is on them in a matter of moments, throwing herself at Shiho too so she can hug her for however briefly before with another wave of her hand she sends a clone coming to help the esper into the wall with a thud loud enough that the wall itself cracks. But the clones themselves don't seem to have as much substance anymore, not with the main body struggling on the floor with a flower pot teleported onto his head. He wriggles on the floor, flailing and pushing as the clones start to wink out of existence.
who has opposable thumbs and posts tags before they're done? meeee
