> Nod. The less we have to open our mouth right now, the better.
>You stay quiet and try to deal with the pain. You're definitely getting used to it, at least, and Ruukoto carries you well enough to prevent any unanticipated throbs. Yumemi leads you through the halls, she and Kasen both keeping watch and periodically looking behind you.
>You are taken through a couple more corridors, and thankfully encounter no one else before Yumemi goes into a random-seeming door. Carried inside, you find it is a fairly small room, with a long table in the middle that looks as though it's designed to fold. Some metal chairs are placed around it, which also seem to be made to fold. The walls are reasonably bare, save for the one at the head of the table, which is made of some slick substance and covered with bright blue writing that you cannot read. Chiyuri sits at the edge of a table, with your proper bucket sitting next to her. You can see your possessions peeking out of it.
>"About time you guys back back," says Chiyuri. "And you look like hell, Kisume."
