[Yeah! That was terrible! He wants a refund, thanks.
But he's doing some rounds to check on the squishy humans and squishy non-humans, so he'll be approaching Kumon with a water bottle. Fancy mineral water from the Metallic floor...]
Here - I think this kinda stuff is important.
[Humans drinking water in times of high stress... Sounds about right.]
[No more fainting for sweet Kumon... He'll pass it over though, folding his arms across his chest soon after.]
I'm doing fine - don't worry about me. [He's Sword Stronk™, after all.] Is there anything I can get for you, though? That looked like it took a lot out of you.
[Yeah, wow. Being stuck in a total state of blindness for the duration of that wildass ride doesn't sound any more fun than sitting through it!]
Mm... It was probably good that you didn't see what happened to him, but going through all that without knowing what was happening had to be super freaky, too.
[He pauses, but nods. Everyone else watched and knew what happened. And it's not the same, hearing it. But... somehow, not knowing feels like running away.]
Well... He went through that whole museum, which played all the clips you heard - each room had different scenes set up with wax figures and stuff. But when he got to the end of it all, he was just... facing the rest of us. And he turned to wax, just, right there. All of the colors left him, and then he just... faded away. The whole archway did. There was nothing left but this grey and white dust, and some red.

But he can tell he feels terrible and there's extremely little he can do right now. ]

[He will take the water bottle. Probably better not to faint of something like dehydration when it's totally preventable.]
H...how are you holding up?

He takes a sip of the water and then just... stares out at the skyline.]
I closed my eyes and... when I tried to open them at... [execution.] I couldn't for a long time.
It was just... scary.

[It would be scary to sit through it either way, but this isn't great either.]

[They all just got to watch in horror! Wowee.]
Plus the whole - I mean, you felt the weird wax stuff even with your eyes closed, I'm sure.

The museum was a wax one?
no subject
[He's never seen one before today and TODAY WAS A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE!! He'd like to never see another wax statue again or feel wax again, actually.]
...Did you hear about what happened to him?

Do you wanna know...?

That's- it's so scary.

[Being slowly waxified... He definitely wishes he had tried to volunteer to be Kazuma's second, now.]
