[On receiving the text, he set down his NV and headed to Youko's room. With the back of his knuckles, he knocked softly on the closed door, gentling his voice]
Hey, Youko, you okay? I'll hazard a guess that it went poorly and you're crying in your pillow.

[Youko gasps for a minute, she seemed to be talking with someone, but she is alone in the room. Her and the fading, grotesque ape that nobody else could see or hear.
His laughter still grated her ears.]
S...Serrure-Kun...
[She hiccups. Youko usually slips that name when she's anxious or scared. Frenetically, she begins to wipe her tears away before he enters]

Don't you get it?
[She shook her head violently. She hugged her knees, keeping her eyes shut]
I awoke in a strange world and I don't look like myself at all! Then I awoke in another and I'm missing my organs! What will happen to my body next time I open my eyes?
[She knew what would happen. She would become that hideous monster she saw in her nightmare.]
You're attractive like this, at least. Unusual hair. I doubt you would fit in with the Japanese, but- [He shrugged] sometimes things don't work out that way.
Perhaps next time you will open your eyes and find the place where you belong, not the place you're trying to fit into.
You don't have to be. Perhaps things work differently in your world and- the fates or Shinto spirits or even beams of moonlight coalesced and you were given some odd powers.
[A grin and he throws an arm around her shoulder]
Hey, maybe you're even some kind of goddess. A kick ass goddess of red hair and monster slaying.
[Short and concise. She doesn't say anything else before setting aside the NV and curl into her bed. Her eyes are red and swollen from crying.]

I'm just tired!

Whatever it is, I'm sure it's okay. And you're not just tired, you only call me Serrure when you're upset.

[She's dressed. Long skirt and sweater. Her hair is spilling on a pillow while she glances at him blankly.
He knows how is it like. She remembers now.]
How did you feel? W...When they told you were missing your heart?
Reply
[He lingers in the doorway for a moment, considering, then steps into the room.]
Like there was something wrong with me for not being normal. Why? [Faint smile] You missing a heart, too?

Youko shakes her head.]
No, not my heart.

[Because he really wouldn't put together female problems with a lack of female reproductive organs.]

[Huh. Guess he made a really bad woman.
Youko swallowed hard and tried to stop shaking when she admitted it.]
I can't have a period if I'm missing...what causes it.

Oh! Your -ah- [Vague gesture towards her abdominal region.] Well. That's not the end of the world, is it? No more bleeding at least.

[Youko said, feeling tears streak down her cheeks. This makes no sense. She is... Youko Nakajima.]

[He arches a brow, then moves to sit down next to her]
Would it be so bad if you were not?
Reply
There was some fear reflected in her eyes when he said that.]
I...
[What if she wasn't Japanese? What if she wasn't human at all? But That didn't make sense.]
I'm not adopted.
