Shu really had no idea what was supposed to be happening right now, it didn’t seem as if this would be going anywhere if they were going to wander around looking for someone to whom he had no idea what they even might look like. He did trust Takeshi, he didn’t think it wasn’t a bad idea; he just didn’t know how it was going to go and whether it would even be able to be called a successful search. Giving a little look around, he let out a sigh before his eyes went to the sky, just watching the people fly around up above. It wasn’t something he noticed when he had first arrived in the city, but that meant the person they were looking for could easily be up above them too. Scratching his head, he squeaked a little when Takeshi suddenly spoke up again, his eyes going to him instead, “Ooh? Okay! He’s really scary, though…” he said quickly, nodding a little, “If not, then maybe we can go back to the house…? Yumi and I were given a big rock and it’s apparently really good to sell for moneys…”

Viral didn’t mean to gradually become panicky, he had tried to be calm and deny everything but it was all forcing his way back to the surface and into his head again. He didn’t want it to be there; he didn’t need for it to be there and definitely didn’t actually want to talk about it. His eyes weren’t very focused, he was struggling to get his mind together and just wanted to leave. While he was trying to turn around and get away from her, she was already closing in and wrapped an arm around him to rub his back. He felt really uncomfortable, he wasn’t used to this kind of contact except for the hug he usually got every so often for doing whatever it was that initiated it. His arms were fairly out there still, he didn’t really know how he was supposed to react to this and sure enough she was not doing as he said and instead pulling him closer, this time his head going onto her shoulder. The pressure to tell her everything was fair great, he was feeling completely enclosed and probably unable to go anywhere else until he told her what exactly happened.

Viral was fairly stuck, his eyes looking to Yumi as he had a very mild panic attack. He wasn’t going to cry over something stupid, he didn’t want to shout around her when she was easily spooked. Groaning as he realised how stuck he was, he grabbed onto her arm, holding it as if for support in this awkward stance, “What…why? No…I don’t do such things…” he muttered, trying to pull away a bit but was unable to manage to get anywhere, “I don’t know why you want to hear such things! They did everything that was necessary…everything that you managed to avoid! Did it even happen or is it just a side effect…? They tested how well I could heal myself…or did they? Did they really tear into me and try to cut my limbs off? The searing heat of the sun to try and advance me…did they really do it or did I just imagine it as an excuse to try and kill everyone? Maybe…who knows…their words burning into my mind, going over and over again! I can’t get their voices out of my head! Probing my brain, damaging my spine on purpose…inventing that collar…I’m responsible for a whole new wave of forced slavery…”
