[Makima comes back down to E Deck, walks right up to Kaito, and tugs down on his sleeve, her posture exaggerating their height difference. She leans in and whispers,]
I need you.
[Without saying anything else, she makes to lead him by the hand towards her bedroom.]
I need you.

Uh, alright--...

I told you before that I only need comrades I can trust. Do you trust me in return?

[She really wishes that she had any idea how to make this effectively human body cry. With the investigation swarming in the kitchen, it isn't as if she could grab and cut onions. She settles for a seven second silence in which her smile becomes small and thin, like she just barely has the strength to speak civilly. Bleeding so much was good practice for that.]
Power-chan was my comrade too. Even before we were brought here.

Beside the point.]
I'm...I'm sorry. I don't know if I can do anything to help, but...I know how it feels to lose friends in this kind of situation, at least...

[He really is dancing on the line of admitting the "previous murdergame" thing that the doll said, though such a phrase technically applied to at least Akane as well.]
Thank you for simply being with me. It's far from the first time I've seen casualties, but this particular incident is completely senseless. It's hard to believe I couldn't have done more to prevent it...
[She sighs, like Kaito is taking the weight off her shoulders. Her hand comes down from the wall too.]
