With breakfast finished and a new acquaintance made, the Scarecrow's mind turned to his other friends. The disappearance of Depth Charge's friend had brought back memories of how he'd felt when Kaiji went missing: helpless, useless, as though he should have and could have done something more to find him. If only he had his brain, then maybe he

"Because a friend of mine, Sen, had her neck snapped by some kinda ghost and then went after me. I heard it comin' after me the night you came to ask if I was okay. I nearly drowned when I wasn' near water--my lungs jus' started filling up with water when I was sittin' on my bed talkin' to Himura. Oh! And y'know what else is awesome? It attacked Kudou too.
"So yeah, forgive me if I'm not entirely convinced that y'couldn' possibly be attacked jus' by talkin' t'me. 'S like a goddamn virus or somethin'."
He crossed his arms and glared at Kaito. It was all out now, so there wasn't anything left for him to hide--even his irritation. "So y'wanna run screamin', 'r are y'gonna sit down?"

"What do you think I am; psychic?" he countered defensively, trying to control his voice and volume. Poker face; he had to stay in control. "Newsflash, Hattori: I might be able to read your mind during a card trick, but I'm not really reading your mind. How was I supposed to know what was going on when you didn't tell me anything?"
He couldn't fault Hattori for thinking that he'd made the best move-even if he completely disagreed with it-but acting like Kaito should have just... known what had happened? That he had a problem with.

"You're right, you're right," he muttered. "I'm just so... freaked out I don' know what t'do."

Oh, how things had changed...
"But don't just cut me out of the loop if you do, okay? There's always a chance I could help, but I can't do anything if I don't know what's going on."

He'd fall apart, no question. Heiji wore his heart on his sleeve, he was friends or friendly rivals with just about everybody. He couldn't help just trying to like people. He hated avoiding his best friends, he really did, but it would kill him to lose one more than it did to miss out on socializing until he figured out how to get this thing off of him.
"I dunno if anybody could help. Unless y'know an exorcist," Heiji said with a weak smirk.
