[ Huh? Even though he hasn't talked all that much to her before, there's still something weird about this reaction. It feels weird. That voice, so small, so hesitant, so scared.. that isn't like her. It isn't like any side of her that he's seen, anyway, and he's not sure if he's mostly just confused or if there isn't some part of him that's almost breaking at the sound of that tone. It seems to speak of more, since there's no reason for Kiyomi to be afraid of him, right? ]
It's me.
[ It's why Itsuki doesn't hesitate to answer the question, maybe just a little bit quick in his need to reassure her. To find out what that tone is for and get rid of it.
.. then again, that smells like Kiyomi, and it sounds like Kiyomi, but.. maybe he's wrong? He hasn't met her that much before, maybe there's someone similar to her here and he just ran into the wrong room. So he turns to try and look at her, but it's pretty hard to do that in the dark room. He can make out the outline of her, but that could practically be any girl.
So Itsuki hardly seems to waste any time. He's moving again a moment later, turning however he must until he's in a position where he's face to face with her - almost a little too close, but it's the only way he can properly make out her face in the dark.
Maybe a little too close, since he can feel his heart jumping in his chest, the very same feeling as on that day when she was the one who came this close. At this rate his cheeks will be burning red enough to illuminate the room by themselves, but he tries to force it down and focus on her instead. Because if she's giving him this feeling, then it's definitely the right person he's gotten here and there's just something else going on. ]
I.. Itsuki. That's who, geez... [ That pouty tone is totally him trying to bite down his concern but failing big time. ]
