When Raidou touched his face like that, something was bothering him. Some clue he'd picked up on a trail was nagging at him. Or maybe he thought he should have managed to stop the kunai that had sliced his partner's scalp in a skirmish, and felt guilty about it. Or...
Or he'd lied.
"They're alive?" Genma tried to make sense of it. He couldn't. "But the debriefer said they were dead. He confirmed it. What do you mean two of them might be alive? I thought you said the clean up team found the bodies. And Hiro confirmed it. He confirmed it."
Sago was dead but the others? Weasel and that asshole of a medic? The greasy-haired bastard who had delighted in punching Raidou around? Which of them were alive? Genma's guts twisted on themselves, slow and cold, and he looked helplessly at Raidou, trying to divine the meaning to his words.
It was inconceivable that Raidou would lie. He must have just misunderstood. Or gotten new information. "Did you talk to another debriefer while I was in surgery yesterday? They found some kind of new evidence? Why would they tell us Sago's team was dead if they weren't? Fuck, Rai, are you sure?"
