I edged up to the wall, listening through the cracked-open door as they talked... perhaps, just perhaps, I might be able to learn more about the things I had seen, the things that Kanna had seen. Her friends hadn't told me anything except for cryptic hints, hints that had led me to reprogram the glasses and which had led to a shift inside my very body. Was it the glasses? Or something else? Something Kanna had done before she left?
I had no idea. In the end, it didn't matter. What mattered was that now, I was one step closer to Kanna, and thus, one step closer to the one who had murdered her.
I continued to listen.

Kyoshiro was pushed up to the wall outside, Sir Givven floating behind him, both clutching a sheathed sword. Kyoshiro had chosen his approach carefully do as not to be seen by any employees or cameras. He could hear voices inside and decided to pause for a moment edits entering, instead seeing more profit in listening, maybe he could learn something about these people if he waited and listened?
Seeing the small kid from earlier, Kyoshiro raised a finger to his lips and mouthed 'Shh' before continuing to listen.

"I just need to keep them wrapped up till the Rider power kicks in and they heal," he said, relaxing as she wrapped bandages around him. "Hospital was too far away and I just needed something to stop the bleeding."

"Didn't know you could heal yourself. Good thing, I have the feeling otherwise you'd practically live in there. I don't recommend that by the way, that place is terrible." Shiki finished bandaging him and stepped back, looking at her work. It wasn't perfect, but it would hopefully do.

I turned to the man standing next to me... and froze. Standing behind him was an area filled with intermittent fuzz, as if the glasses couldn't quite render what was standing there, but couldn't quite render the spce behind it either.
Cautiously, I opened a panel next to me, one that I specifically rendered in visible light, so that I was sure he could read it. Occasionally, I had met people that were able to see the screens I opened even without specifically making them visible to those without similar glasses - I wasn't sure he was one of them.
There's something... standing behind you... I typed into the screen, pushing it forward.

Sora looked at the bandage and nodded, "Better be careful, I may approach your apartment a bloody mess. Expecting you to patch me up."
He slowly stood up and looked at his shirt, too tattered and bloody to wear so he pitched it.
"It's not a perfect heal, nor is it rapid, it's something that kicks in later."

She shrugged, "If you have to, fine by me. Rather have you bleed all over my floor than not have any help at all." Shiki tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, "You're going to be okay for now though, right? It does look...well not good."

Even as my one hand had finished typing the message for the strange, purple-haired man to read, the other began to jot down rapid-fire, fascinated notes. Someone with fast healing. Something called the Rider. Both were things I had to begin to research as soon as I could. I kept a wary eye on the gray area behind the other listener, but it wasn't making any threatening movements, so I didnt' worry about it too much.

Okay I've gotta admit...
Two people standing outside of a closet just listening is strange. One person jotting down notes means that I'm missing out on something. Quietly, ever so silently, I walk up behind the one with glasses and purplish hair and tap them on the shoulder.
Then whisper very softly, "Hey... So what are we doing?" My curiosity is peaked... And besides... Pain killers can wait a few minutes.

Kyoshiro raised an eyebrow upon seeing the kid in front of him type the message, but he was even more shocked at reading it's contents, this kid knew something was behind him, but it appeared he didn't quite know of Sir Givven's nature. Looking over his shoulder at the spirit, Alastair shrugged and Kyoshiro looked back to Haraken and nodded with a small smile "I know" he mouthed before noting someone else appear. Kyoshiro motioned for the girl to be as silent as possible as he pressed his ear to the door. This 'Rider' power the man talked of, was he an Otherborn? The girl clearly knew the man and he was growing more interested by the minute.
He finally answered the girls question "A trail of blood leads into this room, two people are conversing and I'm debating whether or not to consider them a threat"

"I know."
He seemed unconcerned - what little surprise he did show was directed at me. I waved the panel shut, realizing that this was one of those occasions where it was best to not explain; seeing things I wasn't supposed to be able to had gotten me in trouble before... though, usually, it was from people who couldn't see the things I saw, not from people who could.
A girl walked up behind us; the man mouthed an answer to her, and I nodded. I didn't explain my own purpose; how was I supposed to explain that I was researching? It would take too long. Instead, I whispered, "Who are you two?"

My brows raise at what they said... What?! A trail of... I look down and feel queasy.
Eeeeeewwwwwww!
Then the one whom was mostly silent asks who me and the other guy are. I smile and softly whisper back, "Namine... Just a girl out shopping for pain killers."

I nodded.
"H-Haraken."

Kyoshiro debated whether or not he should reveal his true name yet, he decided eventually that he shouldn't "Alastair" he said with a small assertive nod, the spirits name was the first one that came to mind but he knew that it would do. He felt the spirit behind him place a hand on his back, and Kyoshiro felt that distinct shiver whenever they made contact but it felt comforting to him, let him know that he was still there. "Should we... Go in..?" He asked, feigning uncertainty.

"Why?" I was all for putting myself in danger for the sake of my research; that's what this was all about, after all. But it was one thing to take unavoidable risks, and a completely different thing altogether to charge into needless danger.
