Despite the heavy topic, Rei was still as stoic and unreadable as ever - no big surprise there. At least this time she nodded her head at what he had to say instead of just staring at him. Progress? Perhaps. But Byrne still looked concerned regardless of her answer. (He had to admit, even though he'd said that it likely meant nothing, it was hard not to worry about a broadcast like that...)

His concern only grew in the next few moments when Rei turned her attention upon herself, and the prosecutor caught sight of an odd red ring present on the back of her hand as she shined the flashlight on it. What in the world? The way Rei stared at it seemed like she'd just now noticed this, too.

"Rei?" He couldn't help moving a little closer to the girl as he was trying get a better look at the marking (a rash? Bruise? Tattoo?). "What is that? What happened to you?"
