"Honestly," he asked, looking back at her. It *was* sort of embarrassing, really, because the logical thing to do was run. "When my adrenaline gets going, it sort of...starts moving faster than my mind. I thought I'd be okay, because I could call, but no phone, and then I was afraid if it got away we wouldn't be able to find it again."
Keiichi patted her on the shoulder. "I'm sorry for worrying you," he said. "I didn't mean to worry anyone. I probably shouldn't have continued to confront it. It's just..."
Ito shrugged. "I'm not really good at the investigative part of all of this. And I want to help. So when we get in there...I sort of get like that Shirou kid. Do you know him? He's in the Kendo Wrestling Club with Sakuraba-san. Anyway..."
Continuing to look at her, Keiichi nodded. "There are lots of girls in my class. I don't think you have to worry about Akuba-san, for example. You've...just been under a lot of stress lately, haven't you?"
