[ It's not easy to hear at all.

It's like he stiffens more and more with each word that reaches his ears, head bowed and eyes narrowed behind those still-foreign lenses. His fists clench, and he forces himself to fold his arms across his chest just to keep that much from being so obvious.

Worse, huh...? Yeah. They've got no idea.

"And I heard that Konishi-san's daughter is working there..." "How could she? Working for the enemy... what a troublesome child." ]

S-Stop it...

[ It hits a nerve, but it drags him back into some semblance of focus, and he looks back up, to Yu. ]

So, you think this was senpai's reality? When she wandered in here?

[ His expression doesn't much change despite Hanamura's obvious discomfort, though he still feels a twinge of empathy. He thinks the rumors about Hanamura and his family being crooks are just spurious accusations brought on by (justifiable) bitterness and anger. Of course they'd be bitter, their livelihoods are at risk... but that doesn't make it Hanamura's fault, and he's the one suffering for it right now.

(How little does he know.)

He shakes his head, about to reply, when another call comes from up ahead.

"Hurry uuuuuuuuup!! I can smell something! I think someone's been here!"

Yu will shoot a look the other's way before picking up a jog and heading towards the source of Teddie's voice. ]
