Oh dear...
Who: Maeko, Smisa
What: I don't even...
Where: Girls' dorm bathrooms.
When: Lunchtime.
Why: Communication issues and also one of them is a shadow.

Maeko vaguely remembered something that Kozue had mentionned about using that room to skip tennis practice. Using it to cut class was probably a little worse. She'd sat down and stared hard at maths handouts and waited for lunch, when she could conceivably sneak back out of school.

Lunch came but not before maths had lost its great mind-focussing elsewhere power and those hand shadows had forcefully stopped her from scratching her hands again. She escaped school with the crowd who were going home for lunch and ran back to the dorm. She dashed into the closest bathroom, she needed to change her bandages again before anything else.

"Sagaki-san. I don't think you get it. This is bigger than any of us. None of us can handle this alone, including you. You can't be prepared for everything, I think Akuba's area proved that. And... you can't protect anyone if you rush ahead and die because you're too headstrong to just listen to reason."

Masami was obviously getting more than a little annoyed at Tom's stubborn determination to rush headlong into what she perceived as life-threatening danger, and it was finally starting to show in her tone, though her expression looked a lot more concerned than anything.

Tom closed his eyes for a moment and nodded.

"I know."

He opened his eyes and looked at Masami.

"I know this is bigger then any one person. I know that I can't handle this on my own, and I can't do everything.

That's why I'm here. I trust you, and the others to handle the rescue mission. Please trust me to keep the shadow contained. I know my limits, I know how what I'm doing."

Masami sighed and shook her head. "Every Shadow so far has gone into Paradise without harming anyone outside. What's to say this one won't do the same?" she asked.

"I not as worried about what it'll do if you leave it alone. I'm more worried about what happens if you aggravate it, Sagaki-senpai. You don't know what it will do. You don't even know what it CAN do outside of Paradise. Even if you know your own limits, that won't help you if you blindly walk into a situation that's a lot more than you can handle."

"I hate to say it, but..." another sigh, "you're not as strong as you think you are, Sagaki-san. None of us are..."

"Maybe you're right. And if you are, then neither of us has a reason to worry. But if I'm right, then we're putting anyone in Iburi at risk.
We're putting the entire team at risk. What if she gets arrested? Or for some reason someone tries to examine her and figures out what she is? We need to contain this."

Tom's posture became rigid. He was clearly angry that she suggested he'd be so stupid as to walk into anything blind.

"I know exactly how strong I am, and I never walk into something blind. And with all do respect Sakuraba, you don't know what I can and cannot handle. You all think that just because I'm not afraid that I don't understand the consequences of my actions? It's the other way around. I'm not afraid because I know exactly how expendable I am. and I'm getting really tired of everyone thinking that just because I'm willing to accept the results of my actions that some how means I haven't thought them out! Just because I'm the only person doing who's here, doing this for a cause, it doesn't make me a fool."

Tom looked away for a moment, his body went slack. He shook his head at his own argument and let out a long, slow, resigned breath. Then he looked back to Masami.

"Look... what if... I'll follow her, I won't even interact with her unless it's dangerous, if she attacks me, I'll pull back. I've been hit enough times to know how to run while I'm bleeding. I won't take any unnecessary risks.
