Taiki is glad when Tidus takes his hands, takes the comfort offered. It is different than the time in the cinema, Tidus isn't pushing him away, Taiki doesn't feel like he is forcing his presence on the other boy.

He is quiet, knowing that Tidus is struggling to find words and wanting to give him time to speak, to get his thoughts in order. He holds his hands and waits, bowing his head as he finally does.

"I am glad, that Spira is healing." After all, if Taiki had to disappear for Tai, he would not hesitate. Accepting something for a greater good was different than wanting something. "Though you had to disappear... It is good that healing came of it."

His eyes are sad, he wished that such a thing had not had to happen. But it had.
