(Continuation of
this post where everyone's working on Gou.)
I'm working intently on the wall inside Gou's mind, trying to stabilise him without hurting him any further, when I hear something.
No -- see something?
It's very faint. Hard to interpret. I close my eyes, well, the eyes of my mental projection, so I can concentrate better. I'm picking up something from Gou himself, I think. Something he might not be aware of. Something... green.
I focus, letting it come to me. I don't want to push him, don't want to drive his heart rate up too high again, but if I can get a sense of what's so important to him, what's stuck in his mind like this, then maybe that'll be the key to bringing him back fully.
Flash...
Flash...
Flash...
It's regular. Like a heartbeat? No... like something he's experiencing, over and over. Something he's reliving. But what is it?
Flash... something green.
I frown, knowing this should mean something. It's green, and angry.
I try again, but don't get anything more useful, so I finish my work on the wall then gently break the link.
Opening my eyes, I turn until I see the person I need. "Sen-chan, I saw something inside his mind, that might be helpful. A flash of green light. Something angry. I don't know what it means."
