"You're not unconvinced, then.. Just having trouble making your mind believe what the rest of you already knows. I can understand that. I.. have my own reason for believing in spirits already.. it's not far-fetched at all to me," she explained, crossing her arms and looking away, a sign that she wasn't going to get any more detailed about it than that.<br/><br/>After they walked for a while longer and entered the western side of the building, Kenji's guess came true, in a fashion almost too literal. Hoshi and Kenji ran straight into each other, and the sheer suddenness of the event nearly make Yukiko burst out laughing. She barely managed to stifle her giggle at the last moment by covering her mouth with a hand, and in a few moments was back to normal.<br/>"Hey, Hoshi. Good to see you're still in one piece. You okay, Kenji?" she asked, glancing at the cut on his head. It had stopped bleeding a while ago, and thankfully it didn't look as though the collision opened it back up.<br/><br/>Yukiko's eyes went wide when Hoshi mentioned the machines spiking. "No way.. They should only be able to pick up anything right in front of them. If you're talking about the same spike we had, then.. How powerful<span style="font-style: italic">was</span>that thing? I.. don't think I want to stick around to find out. Let's get out of here before another door traps us inside," she said, rubbing her arms as she remembered the fear that went through her at that moment. It wasn't just being trapped inside that scared her, and despite earlier transgressions it wasn't Kenji and her being alone in a dark room, either. No, it was something else entirely.
