元サヤ
Idiom 🔑
Short for「元の鞘に収まる」("the blade returns to its original sheath") = to get back together — used for reunited couples, and by extension regrouping teams. Casually just「元サヤ」: 元サヤに戻る. One line earlier Umiri had said「元サヤですか よかったですね」— then immediately repurposes the idiom for her own pitch. Very Umiri.

戻りませんか
Grammar: ~masen ka 🔑
〜ませんか = "won't you ~?" — the negative question as a polite invitation (essential N5): 一緒に行きませんか (shall we go together?). Softer and more inviting than plain 戻りますか. She spells it out at the start of episode 8:「もう一度 私とＡｖｅ Ｍｕｊｉｃａをやりませんか」.
