While the news of his world's apparent fate hadn't been particularly upsetting ("Good riddance," he may or may not have thought), Takasugi could have done without the weird virtual reality stuff or... well, just about anything else. The whole point of destroying the world wasn't exactly to end up in another one afterward that wasn't all that different from the first. But you know. Details.
But all of that's behind him now—regardless of how he feels, what he likes or dislikes, this is apparently the reality of his current situation and the sooner he got used to it, the better. He had come a long way back home, he had gone too far to just end up in a place like this with absolutely nothing to show for it. It was kind of annoying, but apparently, his life wasn't over quite yet.
But that's why he's out now, wandering around and getting a feel for his new "home." He's not headed anywhere in particular, since it's all new to him, though he's probably been wandering for a while now. The thing that gets him to stop, though, is the sight of a familiar face—or, rather, a familiar head of hair. And while he knows that his presence is probably unwelcome (isn't it always), he can't help but smile and call out—]
Oi, long time no see! Kind of a bad time for a vacation, don't you think?
[The way he says it sounds like he's greeting an old friend, but it's not like that. It hasn't been like that for a long time, but he's absolutely talking to Katsura.
