[racking]

It looks like it.

[ His smile fades a little as he admits: ]

I don't remember being here before, Pidge.

[Her expression drops and she inhales sharply.]

You don't remember? But it... it just happened! How could you forget?

[Shiro's got a lot of memories missing from his time as a prisoner of the Galra, but he hasn't forgotten anything that happened since they became Paladins. This is... worrying.]

[racking]

[ Worrying Pidge is high on the list of things Shiro wanted to avoid. This reentry is not going as planned. ]

I don't know, [ He admits. ] But it doesn't change anything. I'm still here. I want to help in any way I can.

[ And protect his team, but that clearly goes without saying. He's trying to lessen the shock of his admission, and downplay it entirely if he can. ]

[TOO LATE she's been worried since she got here. It's not like being whisked away from home and told that she's part of some massive heroic undertaking is new to her, but at least the last time she had the motivation of finding her family to keep her head in the game. This time, she's just annoyed.]

You vanished really suddenly. We got a notice that said you'd been transferred, but we know you wouldn't have gone without us. Or without at least telling us yourself.

[She'd already suspected foul play. With him back and lacking memories, her suspicions are only getting worse.]

[racking]

I'm not going to let that happen again.

[ somehow?? shiro might not be able to stop what he can't remember happening, but he can at least promise to try. ]

I'm alright, [ because he can at least sense her suspicion. ] I'm back now.
