Chapter 5: Tobiichi Origami
Shido looked at Origami in confusion, tilting his head slightly. "Did you just call me?" he asked, his voice filled with curiosity.
"Yes" Origami replied bluntly, her tone as straightforward as ever.
"And... how do you know my name?" he pressed further, his eyebrows furrowing slightly.
Origami stared at him, her expression unreadable, and replied in a flat tone, "You don't remember?" She left the words hanging in the air.
The two locked eyes for a moment. Shido found himself unsure how to respond.
The weight of her gaze made him feel oddly exposed, yet no further explanation came from her. Without another word, Origami quietly sat back down in her seat.
The silence stretched awkwardly before Shido let out a chuckle to mask his unease, scratching the back of his head. 'She's kind of difficult to talk to' he thought inwardly.
Shido's mind drifted for a moment as he idly observed Origami.
'I guess I can use Scan... just to see her stats... nothing more.' he mused.
He focused on her, the familiar soft glow of Scan filling his vision. The panel appeared, offering detailed information about her.
Ding!
