[He listens intently as she continues to recount the night before, silently grateful for the croissant that he picks up and takes a small bite out of it as he soaks in that their plan had failed, all because he'd succumbed to his injuries. It sounds like he'd gotten beaten up a lot worse than he thought, but still. He can hardly blame her for not going on alone, not when he was in the condition that he was in.
That, and Yoimiya has addressed the one thing that's still a mystery to him. He's not a bad guy, really, and it's not like he won't help someone out even if it's a complete stranger. He's not that selfish. But the bond he feels with her, someone who he'd only learned her name not but eight hours ago? Maybe? It's puzzling, and even now he can feel it tug at his heart, glad that she was here and that she hadn't gone to the police station by herself. It doesn't make sense- he should be feeling like she should of abandoned him in that taxi to get him here, but yet...]
I can't explain it, but...that's been something at the back of my mind, too.
[He sighs as he thinks on it a little more, his own emotions feeling foreign to him, newly sprouted from the bottom of his heart.]
Back at the police station, I...I lost it when I saw that tendril around your neck. That's when I felt a burning across my chest, and that dark power revealed itself to me when I crushed that cop's arm...
[He looks down at his left arm, now seemingly normal with no traces of that dark armor at all. But is this really something he should be focusing on right now? There's a lot to tell Yoimiya, as he has a little bit of insight into her situation, and the tapes weren't recovered.]
...Listen, let's not dwell on that at the moment. We've got bigger problems to worry about. No doubt those tapes have fallen into someone else's hands, and they're going to see our new abilities. Have you ever heard of the Nizhnii Corporation?
