[Indeed, getting Susato out of his way was the last thing on Yujin's mind. He hadn't even realized that she would need those notes until she gets up and heads towards her room to fetch them. Though, he does also consider the notion that it's not about the notes at all. Perhaps she simply needs a brief moment in privacy to regain her composure. He wishes he could do the same. He's still kneeling by Kazuma's side and by now, his curled hands are trembling in his lap.
If Genshin were here...
He can't finish the thought. He wouldn't know, really, just what sort of difference it would make. He always thought he knew what went through his friend's mind, but after the Professor incident, that certainty was replaced by doubt, perhaps even a bit of fear. Genshin was impossible to predict. It shouldn't matter either way. Kazuma was left in his care. This is his responsibility and his failure.
Is there a cold chill in the air, or is that just him?
When Susato returns, he sits rigid, willing his body to... Well, not to relax, but to stop shaking at the very least. And he waits, helpless as he is in this moment. It's up to her now. Susato's tears act as a reminder that he's failed her as well. Not until the wounds begin to glow their pale blue does he realize that something's happening.]
