[It's been longer than she remembers that Kakashi is the one to hold onto her, so she's wide-eyed with her arms frozen in air.
She already knows he's probably having wretched thoughts she wouldn't approve of. As much as she despised his nightmares and tried to chase them away by holding onto him and rocking him gently until he went back to sleep. Her arms move around him.
But like she had when he was eight, she reaches up and flattens his silver hair against his head with her hand, letting him hold her for however long he needs without judgement or questions.
Her voice is soft, gentle.]
... This feels familiar... [Her arms tighten around him a little.]
I'm still here, Kakashi.
[She's still hoping she'll stay here for a while, despite everything else, for the people.]
