It's a little funny, but it seems like the closest resident to Kanda's room may very well be the last to arrive for the 'talk'. Things have just been so exhausting lately; it takes the extra time that everyone else uses to make their way to room 406 for Lenalee just to work herself up to leaving her own. She simply stares at the PDA in her hand for a long while after finishing her brief (very brief) exchange with Kanda, listening to the sounds of the apartment complex creaking and settling.

Finally, there are questions that are going to be answered. Not just evaded or brushed off. Answered. And she's been waiting desperately for this moment for weeks-- why is she so afraid?

(Because Kanda should be dead, and she thinks this will be when she finds out why.)

And then it's Lavi's voice coming from the hall outside, and she feels a jolt go through her like landing barefoot on concrete, and oh, damn it, don't get lost in thought now. Lenalee tosses her PDA onto the sagging mattress that is her bed and cracks her door open. By some miracle, when she comes into the hall and up behind Lavi, her face is composed, a smile that she doesn't mean firmly in place.

"I must be getting out of shape if you beat me here."

Nngh. She's terrible at making (faking) light of things.
