[X] Twist yourself and try to change direction.

[Kill her.]
Vincent looks into Youmu's eyes. Something feels... familiar.
[Kill her now!]
"I really am a fool," he says to himself.
Several things happen in the next second. He twists his body hard to the right, changing his trajectory. Youmu struggles to dodge the strike. She gasps as his thrust misses her side by a few inches. He sighs in relief before slamming his head hard on the dojo wall.
Everything turns to black.
...
"..ere...hy?"
"I...atch...im."
"..right.. ing...kitchen."
"..yuko.. thank..."
"..."
Cold. He feels something cold on his head. He tries to open his eyes, but his eyelids feel too heavy. Not just his eyes, but his whole body feels heavy. His body feels, foreign, for the lack of a better word. Is this really his body? Is this just another dream?
Soft. Something soft is rubbing against his skin. The sensation is pleasant and nostalgic. He feels himself relax. He doesn't need to worry. He knows he can stay here. This place is safe.
...
Vincent opens his eyes. He sits up and yawns. He had a pleasant dream, but he can't remember the details. He groggily looks around.
The room is plainly decorated with a few paintings on the walls. There is a short table and cushion on the right. The sliding door of the room is open, revealing a small pond and garden. The afternoon sun shines pleasantly against the water. This must be one of the guest rooms of the mansion.
He is lying on a futon spread on the center of the room. Looking down, he notices that he is now wearing a white kimono with some blue floral designs. He quickly feels under his blanket, and sighs in relief when he finds that his pants are intact. Looking to the left, he sees the rest of his clothes piled up in the corner. His weapons and pack are lying beside them.
"Mmrrgmmhnnn..."
He turns around to find the owner of the voice. However, its owner simply mumbles something incoherent before nodding back to sleep. Youmu is lying against the wall behind him. Her legs are spread carelessly apart, and her swords seem to be getting in the way. The top button of her dress has come undone. Her short hair is slightly ruffled.
After staring at her peaceful sleeping face for a few minutes, Vincent manages to get up. His head still hurts when he touches it, but there isn't any noticeable swelling.
[ ] Check your things. See if anything is missing.
[ ] Wake up Youmu. You need to know what happened.
[ ] Carry Youmu to the futon. She doesn't look very comfortable.
[ ] Cover Youmu up with the blanket. She might be cold.
[ ] Take Youmu's swords and leave them in the corner. They are in the way.
[ ] Leave the room and try to find Yuyuko. She might be awake.
