[ Giyuu's questioning does not chafe, not coming across as an accusation, but it takes him a moment to respond anyway. ]
...Anaido. [ His anger flickers to grief in the span of one word; for a moment, his hurt lays open across his expression before he collects himself again. ] Did you know him? The three of us—we discovered him by the lighthouse. By then... there was nothing we could do for him.
[ confirmed to be dead...giyuu lowers his head slightly. ]
He called me "senpai"...
[ which now makes him feel all that more weird. he remembers their first meeting and about what he said to him. hm. that's not going to sit right with him for a while. the discomfort of it all slowly creeping at the edges of his face, but he'll push them back down as there are more important things— ]
[ There was no brushing off the announcement, not with a confirmed death on their hands. Maybe that's precisely why they were allowed to find the body.
But to think of him as dead felt wrong; both of their memories of him were yet young, barely formed. He bites the thoughts back, chinning over to one of their fellow Jungle Buddies. ]
Rachel was there, she can attest to what I say. Miss Kocho was present as well.
not that matters to giyuu since hearing shinobu's name is enough for him. he trusts her, however he also believes in what dimitri and the others here have told him thus far. ]
We'll have a lot of work ahead of us then. [ the idea of going to go hunt for bodies and only have the day to do it. what would happen if they don't catch who did any of them? ugh. that's too much thinking for one giyuu.
speaking of things that are too much for a single giyuu—he considers something for a moment. he doesn't raise a hand or anything but— ]

Don't overexert yourself.
