[after dealing with the raging dino, has gone back to his own cabin to pick up something, a light blue bunny in an easter basket, and then heads to hina's cabin. when he arrives, he lightly knocks on the door]

The door's open! [ she's punching a pillow into place right now ]

[opens the door and walks in] Hina-chan!

Ah, Kane-san.

I didn't see you the last couple of days so I wanted visit. I hope that's alright. I even brought someone with me. [lifts the basket holding the blue bunny in your line of vision]

It's fine. Things have happened. [ but oh boy does she want to cuddle that bunny ]

I know. [sitting down the bunny. codname 'blue' because he hasn't named the bunny yet and wants you to do that] I found out what happened.

[ sitting down next to you. she's gonna . . . lean against you right now ] It's horrible.

[the action surprises him and keeping his hands to himself for the moment] I'm sorry for what happened to you, Shingo-san, and Ankh. I didn't know and I wasn't there for you

That's not your fault! It's no one's fault really. I can't blame anyone for this. I just wish I could have been able to do something. I didn't even know Eiji-kun was the one who killed them until oniichan told me. I didn't think he'd ever do that-- even when he tried to choke me to death, he stepped back after I punched him.

Eiji-kun would never do such a thing. I didn't believe it when he told me. It's why I want to think it wasn't him but those medals, the reason why it happened...why he hurt you. I made a promise to look after you and protect you but I failed and I'm sorry.

That's not your fault either! I'm the one who forced Eiji-kun to do that. He told me to go away, but I didn't want to abandon him.

And I know-- I know that it wasn't Eiji-kun, not really. It's not him. But now Ankh is going to retreat again and I don't know what to do.

It's something that must be dealt between the two of them. Eiji-kun knows Ankh won't forgive him for doing what he did but when he comes back, he'll talk to him. And Shingo-san, he's with Ankh, right?

Oniichan . . . oniichan might be able to convince him not to push us all away. I thought I could too, but at the time he was still too hurt.

Shingo-san knows Ankh better then us. They shared a body. Wait a bit, Hina-chan. When the time is right, then you can maybe you can try and talk to him again.

. . . it was horrible to see them like that. Both of them. With all that blood.

It must've been horrible for them as well to have you see them like that.

I knew they'd come back, but . . . there was a part of me that thought they were gone forever.

[hesitantly, reaches for one of your hands and grasps it his own, giving it a gentle, reassuring squeeze] They're still here.

[ can be leaning against you even more right now ] I know.

Everything will okay. I promise.

What about Eiji-kun?

I spoke with Eiji-kun before I came here. He was in his Greeed form when I saw him and didn't recognized me so he attacked. Somehow, he managed to go back to his human form. Even though he promised me he'll be fine on his own, I plan to go back to him and check up on him because regardless, I'll still worry about him.

. . . where is he?

...in the swamps.
