Light was shocked when it became clear this wasn’t the Jess they knew. Jagged concentric lines emanated along his suit from his headpiece to his tail, and he shot behind Senjen’s bulky frame. After a second he poked his head out over the Utaysi’s shoulder, mouth opening and closing rapidly. From behind, you could see Senjen was now wearing the gelsuit like a large amorphous rucksack.

“What is happening? I don’t understand.” When Senjen shrugged Light did his best to emulate it. He did not want to intervene - he had promised to be quiet - but they were dreadfully exposed now. He needed to know if they were heading for a shootout.

“Hey! Jessica! What is happening!?” He shouted.
