"I didn't have a choice." Would it startle Michiru too much to take that hand? Haruka decides it's worth the risk. Could an illusion, or an enemy, imitate the contours of her fingertips this well? "The Princess came, and...."

She's doing this in the wrong order. Haruka cuts herself off, rearranging the facts in her mind. She can do this. She has to get Michiru up to speed, so they can start making progress.

"It's good to see you."

So much for that.
