[ he feels a little bit like he's going to be sick if he tries to move too quickly, so kakyoin accepts the offer of help without much complaint. one hand braced against the ground, the other clutching at yusuke's forearm, he slowly manages to sit up; standing might be hard while his vision's wavering this badly, but at least this way he can attempt to salvage some of his dignity.

he's looking just a little peaky, and kakyoin's expression darkens at yusuke's question. ]

That ...

[ assuming yusuke saw the same thing he did, it's one of the last things he wants to explain. lips pressed together thinly, brows furrowed, he avoids yusuke's gaze as he considers what to say. ]

[ a low mutter as he presses his hand to his temples, trying to ignore the heavy feeling hanging in his gut. at least he didn't hit his head as he fell, and as long as he focuses, he can sort of quell the dizziness that's making it so hard to think. unpleasant flashback or not,

[ not that he was going to argue with 'stupid' or 'blue,' but 'thing' seemed an uncharacteristically vague way of referring to a manifestation of his own soul. ]
