The boy nodded to the assumption. "A girl I was with." One he was going to mention to Izaya before, actually. "She bandaged me before we went there, and then once I went by the stature in there, there was nothing under the bandages. And she had the exact marks." That wasn't all of what Mikado was mulling over, but he wanted to think through the aspects first and come to his own conclusions. Asking now would just be going backwards.

"I actually..." he said after a pause, looking a bit sheepish. "I actually tricked her a bit in order to meet with her. She heads the paramedic group and I wanted to see what kind of person she was." Take a gauge of her character. Mikado shifted a bit, then looked at Izaya. "I'm thinking of providing them with aid... Since it's dangerous here, and they're working to help everyone." He let a beat pass, a struggle against the feeling of awkwardness. All of this... made him feel a bit younger. Even if he was moving on his own. "...In... Dollars' name. So it can start to gain a reputation here."
