[Yoosung didn't turn to look at him when he asked about the wish, so he's still looking at the sky while he talks about Tanabata. Right, it's the Japanese equivalent to their holiday of Chilseok, the one about the separated lovers. Their star festival is a wishing holiday like this moon festival, but he'd never heard of this thing about the distance from earth. He's not sure where he's going with it at first, so he just sips his drink, silently taking it in. He doesn't cast a glance his way until he asks him to guess. Honestly, the thought in his mind is another how should I know, other than what he already knows about Mitarai's desire for them to have been friends. But he can't change the past... so he doesn't think that's it. It's supposed to be a wish for the future anyway.
Yoosung's mind is far from innocent, especially after two glasses, so when he just calls it that at first he stares at Mitarai and mouths the word back at him in confusion. If he's saying the distance between the moon and them is nothing then Yoosung and Mitarai's not-actually-physical bodies could also be considered to have the same amount of distance, at which point there are only so many things he could be saying he wants him to "do." The haze of his traumatic memory is still lingering, though, so it makes him feel an uncomfortable clamminess to think about something like "that." Which is why when he clarifies, Yoosung chuckles nervously and says]
Oh! That... [He just means the data transfer. 'Reach him through the simulation,' as he put it. He's about to just say "is fine then!" But he pauses. Connor told Mishima it was possible to reach someone this way without their consent. Given Mitarai's priorities, he doesn't think he can trust him with this after all. Not without considering all of the possibilities, like what Mishima told him to do. That means he's going to have to step on his Chuseok wish. Feels kinda bad. He takes a long sip... at least he said it wasn't an order.]
I... I'm sorry. I think I have to ask Eve if that would be safe to do.
[Maya was worried about what would happen if data transfer got in the wrong hands. He has to protect her.]
