"Seems like I made a slight miscalculation," says Dr. Yagokoro.

She pulls out a syringe from her dress and starts walking closer. Grimnír shivers nervously as she approaches. Unlike everyone else in the room, the doctor seems to be completely calm. Too calm, in fact. She doesn't seem to be even slightly angry or surprised. It was as if she was prepared for something like this. She isn't even looking at him now, and her attention is focused solely on the unconscious Reisen in his arms. Wait a second. That needle looks awfully sharp. Is she really going to..?

"I had better fix this quickly."

He pulls up his pants and straightens his robes properly as he tries to think. Alice, Marisa and Shanghai all watch in silence as the doctor gets closer to the two. He takes one last glance at Reisen before putting her down gently on the ground.

"..."

Grimnír gets up and stares straight into Dr. Yagokoro's eyes. Then, he folds his arms and stands right between her and the unconscious lunar rabbit. The doctor stops a few steps away, the syringe still in her hand.

"I need to administer this injection quickly."

"Injection," he repeats.

"That's right. Step aside, magician."

This person's eyes are cold and calculating. She is definitely dangerous.

"I don't think so," he replies. "I'm not letting you touch her, or anyone else, until we get some answers!"

"..."

"What the hell is wrong with Reisen? She suddenly runs away just from the sight of me, then in the next moment, she seals my movement and tries to attack me. Hell, she almost -"

"Raped you?"

He blinks in surprise at this.

"Wait a second... you knew that this was happening?"

"Of course not," she says.

Dr. Yagokoro smiles slightly.

"But just by looking at the situation, and analyzing past events and other relevant data, this would be the most probable explanation of what just happened here."

"... huh?"

"Especially since you are still alive," she adds.

Grimnír pauses to think. She definitely knows something. But how can he get her to talk? She seems far too sharp to fall for the usual tricks. In any case, he needs to think quickly. If this continues, the conversation will start to move at her pace and he won't be able to -

"Could you please move aside?" asks the doctor, interrupting his thoughts.

"..."

"I have to give her this medicine before her condition worsens."

Dr. Yagokoro starts walking closer again.
