It took Kozue a moment to notice (she was still scanning the photographs and reacting with a mix of horror and recognition), but when Reizo slunk in, and she caught sight of him out of the corner of her eye, she felt her stomach plummet. She managed not to simply stare at him, slack-jawed and confused, but he was… far too not alarmed not to have some idea what was going on. The gestalt idea of which was slowly assembling in Kozue's mind, and it was not pleasant.
She turned back to look at Kou, and found herself staring at the backs of Tom and Maeko's heads, instead, and Oubai somewhere through the space between them. Seiko was beside her. She had seen Kiriko looking at the pictures (but where was she now? Kozue couldn't find her and that was... where had she gone?) It gave her a strong sense of safety or reassurance or something sort of like that, a capacity for momentary strength, and she managed to find a direct view of the older boy who'd just insulted her. Her... Kozue was fairly sure that boyfriend was an antiquated term at this point.
She took a breath. "Do you want to ask me about this, instead of just calling me dirty names?"
