[She's wise. Perhaps fortunately, he doesn't even look up from the floor to acknowledge her presence.]

They're just scratches.

[siblingless]

They still look fresh, though... Were you attacked?

[soulus]

If anything happened last night, I'm afraid I don't remember.

[He takes a sip of water.]

Do you?

[siblingless]

You don't remember...? Where did you wake up?

[That sounds... Hm. That said:]

A little. The kitchen door got stuck, and trapped six of us inside. I think I fell asleep a while after that, though I didn't really mean to.

[soulus]

Who was with you?

[siblingless]

[... She raises both of her eyebrows at him.]

Kreuger-san, Lup-san, Taako-san, Tsukino-san and MacBean-san.

[A beat.]

Wilde-san, where did you wake up?

[soulus]

[Seemingly filing the names away first, he takes a moment to answer.]

The railroad station.

[siblingless]

... And you don't recall heading there at all last night?

[soulus]

I remember being unable to leave. Like you, I fell asleep.

[siblingless]

So it wasn't just in the kitchen? [Even the people outside got stuck? Whack.] Was anyone else with you?

[soulus]

[He eyes the half-empty glass.]

I was alone.

[siblingless]

Then... [She looks troubled, eyeing the scratches again.] Could something have attacked you while you were asleep? Barnes-san said an animal may have attacked Ichinose-san, but...

[soulus]

It could've been an animal, or it might've been a person. There's no way to know for certain right now.

[siblingless]

... No, I guess not. [A sigh.] I hope the leaders are able to learn something from the realm.

[soulus]

With luck, we'll find out tomorrow.
