Minako is terrified that once he goes out of sight, he'll also be out of reach, that this transformation will keep changing him beyond recognition if she's not watching. That he'll become that other Ryoji, and she'll become that other Minako, and that he'll be gone forever.
Keeping him tucked against her won't protect him, and it's impossible to shield him from his own mind. She can't, but she sure as hell can try. And so she grabs at him again, tears still running down her face but her teeth grit with pure determination.]
