[ Hibiki was thankful that she wasn't expected to come back to the DU so soon, that she was given time to mentally recover, but... honestly, Hibiki couldn't stand sitting still for so long. There was so much she wanted to say, so much she wanted to do... so she ended up insisting on a bit of an earlier return.
And the first thing she did was... well, apologize. That and thank as many people as she could for helping her, of course. If not for everyone's efforts, she might've just stayed in there, stuck without ever addressing her own pain... but at the same time, it can't have been a pleasant experience.
Though of course, when she sees Ai... ]
Ah...! Ai-san...!
[ She's quick to run over. If anyone needs an apology right now, it should be Ai. She's the unit leader, after all... ]
Closed to Ai
