There's a ruckus from down the hall and I can't help but look that way. There are a handful of people picking themselves up off the floor, and one who's still sort of flailing in the middle of the hall.

I wince for his sake, sympathetic to his plight. And then his arms flail away and I see his face.

"Nogami-kun?" I say aloud, standing up to get a better look. It certainly looks like the odd Rider I'd met a while back, even though I'd never found out what exactly his whole situation is. And now he's here at the hospital, with me and Kazari and this Joe fellow...

...oh, something is certainly amiss here. I sigh and rub my forehead for a moment before walking over to Nogami-kun's side.

"Nogami-kun," I say as I grab him amiably by the shoulder. "You certainly know how to make an entrance."
