[ He closes the door behind them, just in case. There isn't much in the warehouse, just a bunch of tools that have been tidied up to one side, a futon, and a cat bed with Lia, a tabby cat that's just laying on it lazily without even acknowledging Rei. ]
My bad, I've got nothin' here, but you can sit on the futon if you wanna.
[ ...So she's heard about it. Mondo awkwardly runs his hand on the back of his head, a little ashamed that he's making her worry. Rei has always been kind ー she's always trying to find ways to help him and the others with all she has, like the time with Terry. It's exactly why he doesn't really want to tell her the truth. ]

His hands tremble on his sides, and his back pain aches more than ever. He grits his teeth hard, shutting his eyes for a moment, before opening them again. ]

Wonderland was his curse and blessing ー he's gotten the closure he had never thought he would, but he had also learned things that he would've been happier not knowing, like moments before Fujisaki left the world in his blood-stained hands. Both remorse and fear attack him at once. What if he repeats the same mistake? He already did what he did to Terry, he could repeat it again. ]
