[The hug lingers, because, to be honest, a part of Nai is having a near-impossible time letting go. Vash is his, has always been his, and even if their ideals rip them apart, Nai still won't let go of that idyllic paradise built for him and his brother and their kind. Vash will understand one day, he always tells himself; a hug long-overdue is merely the first step.
Even without thoughts of world domination and the fantasy they could live in, though, what matters is that they're both here and alive and sharing a moment they haven't shared since they were very, very small. Since they'd get into stupid amounts of trouble just being rascals as kids, since Rem used to drag them both into her lap and kiss their cheeks, since their rather oblivious-to-it-all childhood.
Nai's chin falls to Vash's shoulder. Softly, he whispers, with all the love a brother can muster:]
In that case, put your coat back on. It's freezing.
[Vash is still dumb as hell to give up his jacket in what is, essentially, an oversized freezer. And, frankly, Nai will not see his sibling suffer the same fate he just did.]
