[Now everyone in the room is looking at Dextera, and Guren frowns a little for it. But there's not much he can say, otherwise. Kureto sits back down on the bed and gestures with his hand between the both of them.
"I'll decide that after I get my answers. So, Guren..."
From there, it's a long session of interrogating. Guren is stubborn and snaps back at Kureto whenever he can, but whenever it goes too far, Kureto reigns him back in with threats of separating them, or hurting Dextera.
From there, everyone in the room learns a handful of things:
Dextera isn't from this world. Dextera has some sort of powerful force inside? of him. Guren tries to use the same excuse, but Kureto pushes it further. From that, Guren answers that it's not a demon, it's not a threat, and it's not related to the Seraph of the End. That seems to satisfy Kureto enough for now. Guren somehow had time for all of this, despite all that he's been up to. Shinya and Kureto correctly guessed that Guren must have managed to spend time outside of this world, too. From that, when questioned further, Guren explains some of how he was missing, but answers a surprising number of questions with "I don't know" and "I don't remember." Kureto and Shinya piece together that something about this might have affected Guren's memory, though Kureto is skeptical. If Dextera helps fill in any blanks of events, it raises suspicion off of Guren slightly, but only adds more confusion to the scenario. In the end, Guren insists that Dextera can help them with their goals, but that he can't explain how too much or it might put everything at risk. Kureto accepts that. Shinya seems bothered, but doesn't push himself.
So, basically, it's all a big mess.]
So? I've answered everything. Can we go?
[Kureto gives him a long stare, then sits up a little straighter again, stopping his thinking. "Fine. All of you can leave."
With that, they're dismissed, and Guren places his hand on Dextera's back to encourage him to walk forward and out of the room. Shinya is close behind, though, lingering near Guren. It's only when they're far enough away, and it's just the three of them in a hallway, that he speaks.
"You really don't remember everything?"]
I really don't. [His eyes shift from Shinya over to Dextera, expression finally softening just slightly. It's nowhere near the ones Dextera gets from him in private, but it's something.]
You have your voice. [There's no 'still' there, even if maybe there should be. Guren can't remember it, in details. He slows his steps and then stops walking, turning his apologetic stare on Shinya, now.]
Shinya. [He doesn't even say anything before Shinya sighs, lifting both of his hands.
"I know, I know. You need to talk to him about something and I can't hear, right? You're seriously the worst."]
I know.
["I'm going to come find you later."]
That's fine.
[There's an awkward sort of silence that falls after, but finally, Shinya gives his little wave, and one last stare at Dextera, before he wanders away and leaves Guren and Dextera to themselves.]
