Yuya wipes at his face, trying to clear the tears, but he gives up after a moment and in a surge of emotion leans forward and tries to throw his arms around Rita in a hug. He's just so happy that she's not angry about it.

"... Zarc. My name was Zarc." It doesn't sound like the story named him, but it's weird to hear 'that person'. Rita should at least know his name if she knows what happened. "But I'm Yuya now."

All the tension leaves him, then, his shoulders relaxing. "Thanks, Rita."

Maybe... he doesn't want to tell everyone this but maybe as he doesn't have to hide it as much from the friends who know as he thought. He owes some of them an explanation.
