This time, Kaito managed to bite back a sarcastic retort, though it was mostly due to Aoko's insistence that the situation didn't call for threats, and his silent agreement with her statements. He tried to ignore that grin, which was entirely too manic and entirely too malicious for him to be comfortable with (especially since it was on his features), and focus on the situation at hand.

He took a few more steps toward Aoko, bandages clutched tightly in his hands as he watched 1412 shift. "If you keep moving, you're just going to make it worse," he pointed out.
