...well. luckily, he doesn't get that much time to process it, because ookurikara's memory comes right after. yin yu blinks back to reality when it returns to him, surprised. there were a lot of things going on in that (.... time travel?) but, the sense of determination that ookurikara must have been feeling was hard to miss.
