[Something's wrong with his head. No, something's wrong with this place, and it had messed with his head. Kai remembers making pot roast, and he remembers killing the pot roast. And after that things are just sort of...not there. Almost like he'd just slept a whole week, but he was pretty sure he hadn't...
But that isn't what's bothering him now. It was the fact that sometime this morning, he'd come to the horrifying realization that he'd forgotten Karasu. Not for an hour, or a day, but the whole week. Completely and utterly forgotten her entire existence. It had hit him hard, when he'd glanced over to the spare bunk and seen the cloak and wooden sword he'd set aside for her. She'd said she'd wanted to play with them sometime, right? So he'd gone off looking, found her a cloak and replaced the one the Creeper had sliced to ribbons, made her a sword...
And then forgot her.
Guilt-ridden (which he still was in regards to her, no matter how much he wished he wasn't), he'd grabbed them up and gone looking for her. After checking all the usual spots without success, he'd started trying less obvious ones. When that failed, he'd begun to panic, just a little, and opened a Corridor to every place on the island he could reach. To say he'd worn himself out looking was true. To say that he freaked out when it dawned on him that she was gone was an understatement.
She isn't just somewhere on the island where he hasn't stumbled on her. She isn't here. He can't feel that Light of her's anymore, which he didn't know he'd been taking for granted.]
I'm just not looking in the right place, that's all. That's it.
[Now Kai's outside Ryou's door, leaning against it while one hand grips the frame and the other clutches Karasu's things. He's not sure why he's here; it's either to talk to kid brother or maybe the Creeper, or he just wants to make sure they're not gone too. Because why not? Everyone he gives a damn about keeps leaving him, so why not?]
Hey! Are you there? Open up!
[Kai gives the door a frustrated kick, the panic evident in his voice as he speaks again.] I'll just open a portal if you don't, let me in!
