[He wishes so much that the answer Yoimiya gave was just acting. But the reality is that it's not, it's very much a terrifying reality for the both of them and he has to take a breath to calm himself as he recalls it. He has to fast forward through his mind as to where he would have seen the monster first as if he really were at the desk chatting with Yoimiya. It had all happened so fast, he's not even really sure if Yoimiya's recollection of it is correct or if she's purposely lying about exactly how she first saw it herself.

So he just nods along, to build off of what she had just said, to keep it all straight and together.]

I too, remember first hearing the screams, and trying to get Yoimiya out of harm's way. I barely remember what happened in the immediate aftermath. The only thought that sticks out in my mind after it first appeared was...

[He has to stop himself. He's seen some relatively terrible sights, but nothing comes close to the image of the dead officer on that blade.]

...the sight of it mercilessly killing that officer.

[His eyes point to the floor, trying not to think on it too much. It makes his stomach twist in knots, knowing how close they both were to suffering the same fate. To know it wanted him...and not knowing why.]
