[The hitomi blinks, resolving into a picture with a flutter of static. When it clears, a face is peering out, framed in a loose track jacket and some unnaturally-pleased bamboo.

[Light covers Lenalee's embarrassment with a smile, apologetic and, hopefully, reassuring: it's all right. After all, he might well have got stuck with one himself; he'd congratulate himself on his near-miss if he wasn't conjuring images of what the place will do next. Embarrassing things. Dangerous, and ... provocative? Is that the word?]

[He'd be surprised if this girl has a lie in her that he couldn't detect, and what she's saying matches the things he already knows. There are no loopholes. Each word from her confirms his impression that she knows nothing important, and yet her dreams have clearly interested not only him, but the fake that was here before. What had he been thinking?]

I did just get here. I'm sorry to have to disappoint you.

[And that's when he does tap the little privacy control.]
