[ The moment she feels the hug Nanako drops the communicator to the floor. Normally she would be a little more careful with her things, but not right now, right now she's not even thinking of the fact that she was holding it only a few seconds ago.
Instead she props herself up as close to Souji as she can, and it isn't until the moment she buries her face in his chest that she dares to let another sob out and another. The shakiness of her body slightly increases, her shoulders jumping.
It feels nice like this, safe, protected, warm, (her big brother is here, it's alright, isn't it?) but she still can't stop the tears from coming. She didn't want to wake him up or she would have done so in the first place, but a hug is part of what she wanted and needed all along. It's a start, at the very very least.
Nanako nods, but it's a very slight and shaky nod. She doesn't say anything else (what is there to say, what could she say like this anyway?), it would just be smothered in the crying either way. ]
