[Kaoru isn't one to ogle, at the very least. Though it's noted that this boy is surprisingly toned despite his overall scrawny appearance, the gaze that takes that in is quick, eyes darting politely off to the side within seconds.]

Ah... What a horrible side-effect. [He's become Sonic... Truly a fate reserved for only the cruel.] But I'm afraid that sort of thing isn't uncommon here. In ViViD, they have free reign over the entire terrain and use it to make things as difficult for us as possible. That means this will likely wear off in time, though.

[Whether that's a short time or a long time is left to be seen, of course.]
