It's only when Reynir points out she's crying that she realizes he's not. Belatedly, she remembers that yellow eyes mean red tears, and she pulls one arm back to wipe them away. It's dark, maybe he didn't notice... She keeps her other arm around him, though, until he asks who told her about Tuuri.
Ami tenses a bit, draws back from the hug. "Ah. Shoot. I didn't mean..."
She shouldn't have mentioned Tuuri by name. But... she couldn't help it. Tuuri might have forgotten about Retrospec a while ago, but Ami still considers her a friend, and finding out she suffered such a terrible fate, even in another life... it's a shock.
At this point, though, it'd be pointless to try and lie. Reynir could just ask Onni or Lalli for confirmation, and then she'd be screwed. She sighs, then shakes her head gently.

"No. They didn't. It's..."
How does she tell him? About Recollé, about Retrospec, what she really is, how she knows Tuuri, and Lalli, and Majima, and what that means for all of them?
"... It's really complicated."
