Now Kyoko was finding herself in the boat Kai had been in earlier, not sure where to look or what to do or even think. She could guess which of the kids was probably Kai, but something about that easy, open grin made her stomach twist, particularly when she stole a glance at the boy standing beside her. It wasn't that she never saw Kaito smile, but.... Something was different.

For a moment, she wondered if she should ask if he wanted to just call this whole thing quits. They could take off their helmets whenever they wanted, right? But it hadn't occurred to her to want that, and Kaito's gaze was fixed in a way that told her it was better not to interrupt, at least not yet.

So, rather than say anything, she silently edged a half-step closer to him--not enough to shift his hand much, hopefully not enough to crowd him; just a wordless suggestion that she was here for him, if he wanted that kind of thing from her.
