Keine closes the door behind her and locks it before she speaks.
"Alright, we can speak privately in here," she says. "What did you want to tell me?"
"Err..." mumbles Vincent nervously as he looks around. "Is this your room? Maybe we can find another place to talk."
"This room is safe and protected," Keine explains. "You don't need to worry about eavesdroppers or enemies here. At least, not while I am around."
Vincent nods at her. He did request to speak with her in private, and while he doesn't really mind Komachi listening in, he would rather not disturb Chen. Having anyone else hear about this might be dangerous, as well. After a careful pause, he turns to the school teacher.
"May I ask you something?" whispers Vincent. "You don't need to answer if you don't want to."
"Go ahead," replies Keine.
"Do you transform during the full moon?" he says. "And do you have horns when you do?"
"H-How did you you know that?" cries the school teacher. "D-Did you see?"
Vincent sighs heavily. For a moment, he collects his thoughts. Then, he turns back at her with a grave expression upon his face.
"I saw you in one of those visions," whispers Vincent. "Not as you are right now, but in your other, more powerful form. And I think I killed you."
...
"I see," whispers Keine. "So in this vision, everyone in the village was killed or corrupted, and I was the cause?"
"I believe so," says Vincent. "Though it wasn't completely your fault. It was an unfortunate circumstance."
"It is strange that Youmu and Chen were in it as well," continues the school teacher. "You said that all three of you were working with the Church?"
"Yes, I think so."
"How curious," whispers Keine.
For a few minutes, the school teacher paces around the room, occasionally confirming details or asking short questions. She seems to be in deep thought, and she looks anything but scared. In fact, she looks more worried about him that about herself. He can't help but feel how dangerously high her concern for others is. This woman might be too kind for her own good.
"I'm sorry," she says finally. "There isn't enough information to work with - far too many possibilities. If you are still open to it, I can examine your history to find out more."
"A-Are you sure about that," says Vincent. "Wouldn't that be a little dangerous?"
"Humans need to be protected," says Keine firmly. "Even from themselves."
"Thank you very much!" he cries.
The school teacher then looks him in the eye, her expression serious and grave. She seems focused and determined to help him.
"Now, to begin with," she whispers. "Take off your shirt."
