[Kazahana breathed out slowly, able to relax a bit for the first time since the stranger had entered. She hadn't been there during the encounter Toushi described, but just from looking at him, she knew the correct answer had been given.
So this was Koi. It didn't look like him, but it did sound like him in a way, even if it wasn't his voice. He wasn't here to hurt her. That didn't make it much easier to have him here.]
I don't know.
[The statement was largely directed at Toushi, her voice softer, as though she'd used all her energy on going into a state of high-alert after Koi had arrived.]
I just saw his face. That's all.
[Hesitantly, she looked at Koi. Was he going to hate her now? But this wasn't either of their fault, was it?]
There were a lot of people who ended up with the wrong bodies, but the danger of the evil versions of others were more pressing for it to be noticeable, I guess.
[He gave Kazahana a slight smile and shook his head.]
Think nothing of it. You do not need to apologize for anything.
[He nodded to Toushi and then gave Will's shoulder a small pat. It would be best if he left, now that Kazahana knew he was not the man that had harmed her.]
When your health is better, Kazahana, we need to talk about this. Together with Toushi. What ever is going on, we need to get to the bottom of it before something like this happens again.
[Toushi just... didn't know what to make of this at all. He had accepted that it was Koi, but that still didn't explain much about the fact that such a person existed. This person looked so much like him. He had killed Kazahana. They didn't know who he was. But-
He couldn't stop staring at Koi. Damn, they were so alike! What was this man to him? To Koi? To Kazahana? How could he have killed her? And what had happened after he had done the deed?
This was making his head hurt.
Mutely, he nodded to Koi's suggestion, his eyes automatically going to Kazahana's face to try and gauge her view on this. He didn't even want to think how stupidly confused and alarmed he must have been looking at that moment.]
[Simon stood up as Koi was preparing to leave, the slight sickness he'd been feeling starting to dissipate just as the tension and suspicion in the air had. He smiled slightly at his father and gave him the tiniest of smiles and a brief, one-armed hug.]
I'll be home as soon as I can, Dad. We might be busy here for a while, though. See you later.
[He then turned to the other two and spoke in the same soft tone he'd used before.]
Are the two of you going to be alright? I'm not going to press for details, nor do I really want to know them, but- do you want me to leave as well?
[She curled up in her bed and drew the nearly kicked-off sheet up over her, suddenly even more tired now that the adrenaline was wearing off. She didn't want to look at any of them again right now, lest the confusion and shame show in her eyes.
She appreciated all of their concern, even Koi's—especially Koi's, for all that his arrival had turned things upside down—but she didn't know what else to do now. Wait for morning—then she'd decide.]

In the Coliseum. She's dead. Need help.
