Then... that's probably the best birthday present I can hope for. Still being able to be by your side. -It still felt so selfish to say that, but the awareness of it didn't stop her from doing it. It didn't stop her from clinging to what she still had. She'd always been that way, refusing to let go of those she close to, even if it might have been healthier to do so. She still visited Yin every day, after all, and she'd been off the network for months. Sakura occupied real estate in her heart, and she never wanted that to change even if...
... even if it was going to hurt sometimes, knowing they didn't see each other the same way. But it was fine, so long as she still got the be with her in some way... right?
She hadn't realized it... but she was clutching the bracelet rather tightly. Her knuckles had gone white.-
We're gonna try, at least... -May's hand relaxed, at least a little, once she felt Sakura's touch. She was getting too lost in her own head for a moment, and the anchor back to reality helped more than she could say.-
From now on, no more stuff held inside between us. We're gonna survive this weird new world together.

... Sakura absolutely does. But this time, she won't let her smile waver, instead reaching over and grasping May's hand into her.]
We'll be okay.
[Even if it takes a while, Sakura doesn't have the strength to believe anything other than that]
