[WELL THAT sure all passes by in a blur of confusion, and Kaoru's left stumbling and glancing around wildly as he's gathered up and set by Sen's side. That... that sure hadn't been what he had been expecting to happen at all.
She's really going all out for him, isn't she? Sen - if this works, he's going to be in her debt for the rest of his life, and he knows it.

He knows his way around the compound. He can do this.
Kimigiku gets one curt not before she flees again, and then Kaoru's attention turns toward Sen's hand and its shaking.]
