Yeah. And at this rate, it's going to happen next week too. And the week after.

[ she doesn't have much of a reaction to show him herself, unfortunately. ]

[damp]

... So we might as well get used to it.

[ ducks his head. man! unlife is so hard! ]

[kunoichi]

[ it's touch week so she just. reaches out and plants her hand on top of his head. ]

Keep your chin up. You're a man, aren't you?

[ she says with her hand literally still on his head. ]

[damp]

[ yuzuriha this toxic masculinity... ]

What's that supposed to mean?! [ he turns his head up in her hand, frowning up at it. ] I'm fine.

[kunoichi]

[ yah... she's toxic like that... ]

Alright. Tell me what you found while you were looking around.

[ she removes her hand ]

[ He straightens up at the topic change. ]

One of the blimps had crashed in front of the bowling alley. It was still on fire this morning.

[ ... ]

There was blood and shrapnel around it. I found a white ribbon too.

[kunoichi]

...Huh.

[ that... sounds pretty wild. ]

A white ribbon...? That has to belong to either the culprit or the victim, right?

[damp]

... I guess so. Not sure how we're supposed to find that out unless someone recognizes it.

[ little does he know about trial ]

Did you see anything strange?

[kunoichi]

[ whispers they don't know...

...and rin probably won't enjoy hearing this, but, ]

I found Hikari's body just outside his team's warehouse. It looked like he'd tried to drag himself back to safety.

[damp]

[ oh. yeah, he looks kind of stricken by that. ]

Hikari...

[ give him a sec. ]

[kunoichi]

[ ...she can probably tell.

she'll wait. not like they've got anywhere else to be. ]

[damp]

He... [ he can't bring himself to ask how he looked ] Was there anything else?

[kunoichi]

His phone was left behind after his body vanished.

[damp]

[ that catches his attention ]

There might be something on it. [ ... ] Maybe. He wasn't great at technology.
