[ The reaction from Tatsuya is delayed. There's a number of things he never would've expected out of this interaction, but first and foremost is probably his older brother crying into his shoulder. There's a moment where he just stands there in shock before his arms move almost mechanically and he returns the hug. It's tentative, hesitant— he doesn't know what to do with this, but he's here for Katsuya.
It's not that he hadn't missed Katsuya: He had, fiercely so. But it had only been a day by his own measurement, and his brother had the Other Tatsuya (his Tatsuya) to keep him company in the new world, and again.... It had been a day.
But he's not blind to the pain his brother is in, and the grip of his return hug steadily grows firmer. ]
