[His head swims. He feels... dizzy? He doesn't know what he feels. All he can do is try and piece together the sequence of events in his mind. Kirma's boyfriend slashed Esikko in the chest, a wound Hiyori could feel because their senses were linked during the Hearts game. He was the first murder victim. Esikko saw him get killed, and then he saw another horrible thing happen, and then he brought him to the clinic where they revived him. That's what he said.
... no. That isn't right. The Hearts game and the chest wound came later. Kirma's boyfriend had already died and come back to life before then. Kirma kidnapped Esikko, the boyfriend slashed his chest...
... the boyfriend slashed someone who brought him to the hospital?
It doesn't make sense. He thought the boyfriend slashed Esikko out of jealousy over Kirma, or because he was simply insane. But now another, even more inelegant motivation occurs to him. He doesn't want to believe it. But if it was revenge—
No.
He doesn't want to think about this anymore.]
..... sorry.
[He sounds extremely beaten down.]
I shouldn't have asked for ice cream. I'll treat you next time to make up for it.
[He's only had a bite of his, but he's going to toss the rest. He starts heading for the classroom door.]
