Kou does exactly that, clipping the gun this his belt (just in case), and following Kira's directions. He's too- fucked up to complain about being manhandled right now, he just wants to get the fuck out, however Kira's going to do it. The cognition staring back at them is horrific, and Kou cannot pause to think about the implications, not when he's already teetering on the edge of hysteria. He wishes Goro were here, he wants his brother back, he hates this, he hates this, he hates-

"Shut the fuck up," he snarls at the cognition. Yes, he knows alright, he's seen exactly what the robot said on the network. But right now? He'll take a potential body snatcher who's trying to fight back against Maruki to the active fucking threat trying to brainwash both of them.

"This better fucking work," Kou hisses, and he slaps his hand into Kira's.

CLAP!
