Given what he'd seen of his own file, it was no surprise that the doctor knew their lives in detail. But what was surprising was to hear that it wasn't only himself, but Kurogane as well that was using a false name. And even more interesting, the doctor wasn't just dabbling in crossing over worlds, he'd done a significant amount of research into not just different worlds, but different universes entirely. It might've been difficult for the others to fathom, but from what he'd learned in his own studies and what he knew of magic, it couldn't be impossible. But it was definitely a lot to take in all at once.
Yuuhi turned and his eye flicked to the screens at the front door, then to the ones near the doctor's desk. Static was all that appeared on them, so he turned his focus back to the man and his explanations. He still hadn't mentioned what this deal was he wanted to make. And while Yuuhi might be able to travel to other worlds on his own, Kurogane and the rest of their group had to use Mokona. Though no one had seen the little creature in weeks.
And finally, things started adding up. He'd been pulling people from all these Altverses and Subverses, but it wasn't what he really wanted, was it? Kurogane and Fai had chosen to leave, at least, chosen to go on this journey together (though it was hard to say if it counted for Kurogane or not. The man hadn't exactly been thrilled about leaving), but the doctor?
What was he looking for in all of this dimensional travel? If he wanted to make a jump to another world, wasn't he able to then? Or was something holding him back? The man ought to know then, that Yuuhi wasn't able to use his own magic for that, especially here, dampened as it was and with only one of his eyes. Was that why it'd been taken away? For their studies or... Yuuhi might be able to do it, if something wasn't keeping him from his magic, but wasn't the doctor capable of that himself?
"So you want our help to travel to one of them?" he tried, attempting to follow the man's train of logic. Why would he even need to strike a deal? Couldn't he just take what he wanted? As he'd demonstrated on several occasions, he had more than enough power to do so. Just the fact that Yuuhi was still there, still alive and breathing, despite his injuries was proof of that. "I don't understand."
