Yousuke got the hint. No shadow. He supposed that was both a good thing and a bad thing. It would suck knowing that whole matter with the TV still hadn't been resolved, but at the same time they at least knew how to deal with shadows. They were a familiar enemy.
He didn't like being looked to for an explanation. At least he wouldn't be giving anything away to Adachi with this. The bastard would already be fully aware of what had happened to Nanako. All the same, his wording would have to be careful. "Nanako-chan was kidnapped," he began simply. "November 5th. They managed to find her soon after, but she... might have suffered some sort of trauma. They weren't really sure what happened. But she was doing better last I saw her!"
That was a lie. Nanako would get far worse before she got better - her heart stopping completely. The effects that had on them... there was no reason for him to mention that. It was better to let them think she'd be all right.
Naoto's responses to their questions only confirmed what he'd already heard, but it hit harder since Naoto was the one saying it. There were really monsters? And different worlds? Here he'd thought jumping into TVs was crazy. He wasn't going to ask about what could possibly be next. He might jinx himself.
As far as traveling alone was concerned... Adachi was a big boy. He could take care of himself. Yousuke voted to leave him alone the first chance they got. Otherwise... he hoped he didn't end up having to pair off with him often just so that no one else would be left where he could harm them.
