There's a hand in his and is squeezed - which Sora squeezed back. The whole situation is nerve-wracking for him, knowing that he'll have to face his own one day but not just his own but the ones of his friends too because Sora always wanted to stand with them. Maybe 'needed to' stand with them was more accurate. He may not be able to fight their fears back with a Keyblade but Sora has plenty to say to encourage them. Even if he wanted to, he can't move away from Naminé to join in with the hugging.

Though he'll leave the hugging to the girls. Now that it's over, he merely gave Ira a nod of his head and a grin.

"To lose cool points, you have to have some to start with." Sora teased.
