[Part of Iris really does want to go and take Ryunosuke's hand, particularly with the huge and complicated mix of emotions she's feeling. That desire causes her to hesitate before she does anything else, and her free hand inches forward. But it's just...too much right now. And she knows that staying and talking with them about it before she's had a chance to properly comprehend everything about this situation–what all of this means and, most importantly, how she actually feels about this–might only make matters worse.

Also, the fact that they were the featured characters in that memory is a bit awkward. It's not that she doesn't trust them or feels betrayed, but there's just something about it that isn't sitting right. It was one matter knowing that Sholmes knew but hadn't told her yet; having no idea that they even knew in the first place was another thing entirely. What that thing is, she has no idea. Which is precisely why she really needs time to herself right now.

Oh, Runo! You've remembered me! I'm so glad!

[Iris is truly happy about it, and it shows. But then her expression shifts to one that Ryunosuke might recognize: almost the same as she made when Dr Gorey had discovered that the autopsy report was missing. That autopsy file that had misled her so much...well that was certainly a strange coincidence now, wasn't it?]

But, I...I really must go find Ginny now that things are all in hand here. Look after Runo for me, won't you, Mr Reaper? Bye!

[With that, she completely turns from them and makes a dash toward the trees. It's pretty impressive considering she's still carrying that axe. She's not looking behind her at all; this was already complicated more than enough for her to be worrying about how they were feeling.]
