There's the black suited Kazuha again. Though it might be you hear here before you see her. Not that she's shouting this time. No, it's more the ragged breathing and the stumbling down the hall, mostly moving along with a hand against the wall. Sometimes gripping the light fixtures and turning to press her forehead against the wall and letting out

A firm hand clasps against her shoulder, tugging her gently away from the cold wall and holding her upright at the same time. This Kaito looks to be a few years older than most of his counterparts-- in his mid-twenties, at the earliest-- and as he shifts her weight toward his shoulder he is already trying to move toward the nearest doorway.
"Take it easy and hang in ther, the infirmary is usually pretty well-stocked." He would ask her what happened, but getting her to talk while she's so injured probably wouldn't help.

Except she doesn't, stopping partway, her eyes focused on Kaito's face. Another sign of something wrong is how very...mad her eyes look. "Jinx, no, can't, protect, don't do it, not him." Of course, Jinx wasn't the right name for this particular Kaito, but to be fair, any sort of coherency is rather hard won at the moment.
And then she shoves him, hard and pressing herself against the hallway wall, grabbing one of those light fixtures. It'd also be obvious she has some weird bracer thing on her arm and that jewel on it might be...glowing...? "Food....need food....so hungry, need food, need it now."

"What--" It's then that he realizes she has no obvious injuries that would leak that much blood. And with the way she's grabbing at those lights, talking about food...
... oh hell.
A deep breath, and he holds his hands up, palms forward, gaze affixed on her staggering form carefully. It's clear she's dangerous, but she's also a friend, and he knows he can't just leave her. Aoko would have his hide if he didn't try to help her-- nor was he the type of guy to not render assistance just because something was dangerous. "Oi, Toyama," he continues, ignoring the improper name for now (she's too incoherent for him to correct her), "... I don't think I can give you what you want, but there might be something in the kitchen ( ... )

"Where...?" Her voice is desperate, begging for him to tell her, and she is ready to bolt as soon as she knows where she needs to go.

What part of Sabra La Tau could this be? she wondered. It was nothing like the caves, so, maybe… "A game? I don't remember going to the Arena..." She tugged the hem of her red skirt, and straightened the lapels of her equally red jacket, just to give her hands something to do as she walked. "Whatever this is, I can take it! If I just keep looking, I'm sure I'll-eh?"
What was that sound?
She sped up, almost running. There, almost there, just around the next corner… If it was what she thought it was-somebody in pain-then she wanted to get there as fast as possible. But the sight that greeted her stopped her in her tracks. She skidded, stumbled, clapped a hand over her mouth in shock. "Kazuha-san!?"

But just because she wasn't in Sabra La Tau didn't mean she was free from it. She looked up at the voice, and the clothes and the bracer are certainly ones the other would know, if worse for wear. The look of insanity is probably newer and Kazuha pushed herself from the wall, stumbling from post revival and soul punching exhaustion, plus lingering sedation affects, reaching for Isabelline.

This was new. Even Elliot's heart, blood-stained and Pillar-ridden as it was, couldn't have prepared Isabelline for those eyes, that expression. She stepped closer, gnawing worry overriding her uncertainty. "What happened? Do you need first-aid?" she asked, lifting out a hand towards the girl she already considered a friend. It didn't matter that she wore black; that she worked for the Judges, had to hurt the blanks when she was called upon to do so. Orders didn't make a person, right? "Let's get you some help!"

Those were her thoughts as she moved her mouth to Isabelline's arm, mouth opening. Just a bite, anything to stop this hunger, right...!
But wasn't it someone from home?
And Kazuha freezes halfway, but should someone even entertain the thought of someone eating another person, it might still be obvious what she was about to do. It was only the fact Kazuha long since resolved to protect those from her world she's managing to stop herself at all.
