[She can do whatever she wants to do, Ikki wouldn't be able to stop her even if he wanted, and he certainly won't complain if she cleans the place. He may even try to help even.
He smiles a bit when she says that it's nice, of course, anything would be nice compared to Death Queen Island. She never had the personality of a girl that needed much to be happy, she couldn't be like that if she was capable of smiling even in that place. He makes a surprised noise when she hugs him, clings to him, but he quickly returns the embrace. It's so different from how he remembered it, from how he kept imagining it, it's only now that he can see her again that he starts to realize that time has passed and he has grown older. His mind and heart was still stuck back in that day, so whenever he thought of her he would imagine their heights being the same as they were back them, both being teenagers.
It's only his pride that keeps him from shattering in her arms. His pride and his will to be strong, to not give her something to worry about now. Not now, for however long this miracle is possible. He just wants her to be happy right now.]
