His expression becomes visibly alarmed for a moment there, but it fades back into wariness again as the spirit ponders it over, melting away completely by the time it indicates it's the wrong name.]
[When he hears the sound of that coat being put on, he'll finally look back. Oh thank goodness.
But wow, now it sinks in...they actually did it. They saved someone. He never actually pulled this off before, so her thank yous get him...turning a little pink. He's not sure how to handle this good fuzzy feeling?]
er-
[he clears his throat]
Just glad it worked. [Right] You okay? No weird...feelings or pain or anything?
APRIL EVENT - Tatsuma & Orihime
[He pauses in the name reading when he hears it say something, looking up with intense focus]
A..kira?
[!!]
Akira? Is that who you are?
no subject
....
[ She tilts her head one way.
She tilts her head the next.
Is she Akira?
Hmm...no. That doesn't feel right.
She shakes her head. ]

...Okay. So we need to read more?
no subject
I guess but...
It did react to the name. What if Akira's a friend?
no subject
Which one?
[Though he's not likely to be of much help either way. He only knows one of them, and he has no idea who his cousin would consider a friend.]
no subject
Maybe we could text both of them? See if they can give us a list of names.
Least it could narrow down having to read every name on this list.
no subject
Turner's my cousin.
[So he can take care of that one.]
no subject
[He'll pull out his own phone]
I'll handle Kurusu then.
no subject
Then reaches out, expecting them to hand her one. ]
no subject
Very casually shifts his arms a little bit away from her so he can finish typing his message.]
no subject

no subject
And by that way we mean she is literally going to phase through Tatsuma so she can try and take his phone as she comes out the other side. ]
no subject
[Oh no this is not good. Things should not go through people like that. Thankfully Akira sent a list that he'll start quickly reading off]
Y-Yu Narukami!
Shouto Todoroki!
Orihime Inoue!
Souji Seta!
Futaba Isshiki!
no subject
He shifts fluidly out of the way, but... unfortunately that just means she gets to phase through his backpack full of goodies instead.
There was an attempt.]
no subject
...O...ri...hi...me?
[ Is...that her name? ]
no subject
Orihime.
Is that...you?
no subject
[He watches the spirit intently, snacks no longer even slightly a concern.]
no subject
[ The shadowy mass of her body starts to vibrate, undulate, looking a bit like drops of oil trying to hold together in water. And...
Then it suddenly bursts! Revealing Orihime.
Who is also a little naked. ]
no subject
And then, he feels SO MUCH relief when she reverts to human form. They did it, they actually saved her--]
Inoue-
[Oh crap wait, she's totally naked. He yelps and tries to cover his eyes so he doesn't see. ]
Ah!
no subject
Tatsuma just smiles, taking off his backpack so he can shrug off his coat - which he'll go ahead and offer to her.]
Welcome back.
no subject
[ She says with exuberance, throwing her arms in the air. NBD.
But she will take the coat, smiling gratefully as she wraps it around herself. ]
Thank you...thank you so much.
no subject
But wow, now it sinks in...they actually did it. They saved someone. He never actually pulled this off before, so her thank yous get him...turning a little pink. He's not sure how to handle this good fuzzy feeling?]
er-
[he clears his throat]
Just glad it worked. [Right] You okay? No weird...feelings or pain or anything?
no subject
And... you remember everything now?
[That's the part that's out of the ordinary, that's worth paying attention to. Were they really able to do it...?]
