Just like Kari, he turned around to look at Taijo when he comes running up, looking completely freaked...and like someone had been strangling him, based on the bruising around his throat. Which struck him as odd, because Taijo was a big guy, maybe the biggest guy in the school, and he found it perplexing. So maybe it wasn't strangulation, maybe something had hit him... but how, why, and what..?<br/><br/>Unlike Kari, he did not go to his side, but that was only because Kari beat him to the punch line, so to speak. He instead remained where he was, quietly observing the two as they spoke. Being something of a liar himself, and a good one at that, Shine was able to discern that Taijo was not telling the truth. He's too panicked, trying too hard, and their is a giant bruise on his throat that could not possibly be caused by stress from school work. Unless he was a self-harmer. But, then, why the panic and running?<br/><br/>Things were getting weirder. Shine did not like this.
