[ sorry, aguri, he was a very cheesy person on the inside the entire time... he had you fooled.
he can't help but tense up slightly at first, because he is rather nervous - he can feel his pulse fluttering in his neck like a little bird. Briefly, he ponders about why he can still even feel a pulse if he's dead - a trick of the mind? phantom pains? - but this very situation is nonsensical to begin with, and the problem can hardly hold his attention right now, anyway. Almost immediately, though, he relaxes, folding his arms around her smaller frame. He'd always watched her through that glass panel, and, later, in his dreams and memories, but he never thought he'd be able to hold her like this. His heart swells like it's going to burst.

His embrace tightens a fraction, as if she'll disappear again if he doesn't hold onto her strongly enough this time - though one gets the impression he's the one who'd fall over right about now if she wasn't holding him so tightly. ]
