[That warmth, that relief and simply that pure, direct way he's affected by her presence up close is not lost on Maya; it's more than enough proof for her that not only is Jun here, he is most certainly the boy from the Other Side rather than the one she met in the Sky Museum. "Maya". "Nee-san". She will have to process it all, and she will have to process it swiftly. It takes little intuition to understand he needs her.
She admittedly doesn't know what to do at first, but standing there blankly isn't it. Now's not the time to wonder how deep their relationship feels to him or how "she" would perfectly assuage his concerns. She's just going to have to dive right in, and hope she does all right for herself as she is. Then again, she's been in worse situations. It wouldn't be to her advantage to think anything outside of the positive will come.
Staring straight at him as she places the owl on a branch of some nearby tree next to her, Maya smiles the biggest (convincing!) smile she can manage, and then... wordlessly drapes her arms around him in a warm, grateful hug wrapping over his back. Muffled from behind, her chin balanced on his shoulder:] ... Jun-kun. I'm here for you now, okay? You're not alone anymore. Sorry it took me so long to get here.
[and now he'll be fine with Socialization because momma's here]
