[and now that it had, kotori yelped in utter shock. she clearly -- she knew she hadn't been singing aloud, had she? well, maybe a few words had slipped out unbeknownst to her, which was a bit embarrassing -- and then she got the second shock when she realized there was no one nearby to say what she'd just heard, never mind hear her sing to begin with.
all sorts of thoughts swept away the momentary good mood she'd enjoyed. kotori froze on the spot and clapped her hands over her mouth to keep from making any more noise. it occurred to her that she might run -- but she wasn't as fast as rin -- or perhaps fight back? -- but she wasn't as fearless as nico. she was plagued by sudden indecision, and her mind raced with possibilities, none of them good.
a look into such a mind would reveal... was she being recorded by the odd device around her neck? was there some creepy pervert lurking around the corner watching her? could he read her mind -- no, that last one was impossible, wasn't it...?! they were like dominos or a tidal wave tumbling over her (and presumably over yamagi), but for good reason dude!]
