[ mondo offers the futon to sit on, but she doesn't budge. instead, as mondo begins to shake and suddenly, something really aches in rei's chest. seeing him so upset, it saddens her. he doesn't deserve to be in such a state and she reaches out. she attempts to take one of his fists and bring it up to her, holding them with both of her small hands. they grip on tightly and although he has his eyes closed, she's looking straight up at him. ]

... it's okay, Mo-chan, I know you wouldn't do that if you could help it.

[ she's not scared when he tells her that he might hurt her. she doesn't think that it'll happen, but even if it does, she would forgive him. she understands everything completely. ]

You're a good person. You wouldn't do anything if you could help it. Something must have happened before you got into a fight with T-chan.

[ terry has told her that he has been experiencing these strange mood swings and she knows that he wouldn't lie to her. she has also seen strange behaviour overcoming her friends before. sometimes, shadows inflict strange aliments onto people and that can dramatically change how they are. although terry said that it wasn't a shadow that infected him, she still thinks that some external factor had to cause everything. after all, mo-chan is kind and sweet. she can't imagine him ever getting upset if it wasn't for a really good reason or because he was pushed by something. ]

Don't worry. I'll be here with you.

[ she'll stay until he feels better. ]
