[And where Hikaru really meant to head straight for his room and curl up and maybe pretend he wasn't alive for a few hours, he finds himself wandering close to the office Liandrin shares with Riley and Aidan. He can also hear Riley inside.
Something in him aches. Maybe it has to do with what he's just figured out for himself a few minutes ago. Maybe it has to do with that odd sense of deja vu that's coming over him, given the last time it wash him here, and that man over there. Maybe it's both.
He really, really hasn't been at his best lately. This had to stop.
For the moment, though, he's going to see what he can do to not make any of this seem too strange. Riley's probably noticed him by now: might as well preempt the other man. (Yes, he did promise to be better. It doesn't have to be now, though, does it?)
Knocking now, and valiantly resisting the urge to just... lean on the thing. People are passing through the area. It's morning.]
Riley. Are you going down to join the others soon?
[...And really, Hikaru Shinta, get your shit together. He's definitely going to hear the way you sound (read: like you are not good in the slightest).]
