Yu was a little surprised at her sudden hug, yet he didn't really mind it as he hugged her back. Yu nodded in agreement when she was thankful for Zero agreeing to help him, even keep his little power a secret from the Central 46. As she rested her head against his shoulder, it only made Yu more positive to keeping her away when Yu does battle his Hollow. "Hey, Ayashi, when I do fight it. promise me you will stay far away from me? I.... I don't want to harm you, so promise me that you will be far away when that day comes."

As he hugged her back, she let out a breath, one that would surely hit his neck. As he spoke about keeping her away if he had to fight, she hesitated before answering. With a small stutter, she finally did reply, "Y-Yu, I would want to be there to support...." she stopped and thought about it, it would sort of be like a last request for her to stay away. She understood that, and decided to go along with it. If he wanted her to stay away, then she would, for him. "Yeah, I promise. I'll stay away if you have to fight him, but be aware that this doesn't put a doubt in my mind that you will survive. You're strong, so you'll win." As she finished, her hug got a bit tighter and she gave a small laugh, "We shouldn't spend this time worrying though, let's go do something else in the meantime. Maaaaybe take your partner out to dinner?" she half joked.
