Suichi relaxed a little as Mayumi lightens up with a warm smile and smiled in response. He his smile turned into a grin when he received a gentle kick from her and stood up. He looked at the poor confused girl and extended his hand towards her. "That's right. We can be good friends from now on and forever. Life can be confusing, but it's worth living. I'm Hamani Suichiro, but you can call me Suichi. This is Inoue Mayumi, my friend and partner."

He kept a calm friendly tone. "I do hope we can become friends."

Kyoko finally finished suiting up and rushed to where the others were standing in formations. Chou one of the girls she worked with was speaking with the commander, but Kyoko's panting prevented her from hearing. "Maya Kyoko reporting for duty!" She had trouble keeping her voice in control as she had practically sprinted the entire distance and rushed her putting on of her gear as quickly as possible. "I apologize for being late, I just got here from the area of the incident. She's at the park. Where the concert was."

She felt a bit stupid saying that, because it was likely they already knew, but she was a bit worn out from the run and kept her mouth running.
