[X] Go with Youmu.

"Vincent," says the half-ghost. "Can I ask you another question?"

"Of course," replies Vincent.

Youmu stops in her tracks and turns around to face him.

"Have we met in the past?" she asks. "I mean to say, before a few days ago."

He pauses to ponder the thought.

"Sorry, I don't really understand," he replies. "We met only recently, right? And not in the best of circumstances, if I remember."

"Yes, of course," says Youmu. "It's just that when we're together, I feel like I've known you from long ago. But I guess it must be my imagination...."

"Well, I -"

"Forget about it," she says. "Sorry for rambling on like that."

The half-ghost gives him a small smile as she starts walking again. He opens his mouth to talk, but he can't find the words. Admittedly, he feels the same way about her. He has seen her in his dreams before, and even now, he feels something familiar about this girl. But how is he supposed to tell her that without sounding crazy or stupid?

Vincent shrugs away those thoughts as they near the dining room. No point in ruining the afternoon with such topics. The atmosphere between them has improved, so he might as well enjoy it while it lasts.

"..."

Then, a sudden chill wind blows against them. He shivers slightly at the cold, and in a moment, he recognizes the sensation. Something dangerous is around. He takes a quick glance at his surroundings and focuses his senses. It seems to be coming from somewhere outside.

"I-It's getting a bit chilly, isn't it," says Youmu.

"Do you feel anything strange?" he says.

She pauses for a moment to rub her shoulders.

"Not really," she replies.

Youmu opens the door to the dining room. She heads inside first, greeting Komachi and Chen. Vincent takes a glance at the them. They seem to be pleasantly waiting for the snacks. Then, he notices that Yuyuko isn't anywhere in sight. That strikes him as a bit odd. She doesn't seem to be the type to miss a meal. As he considers the situation, the half-ghost walks back up to him.

"Have a seat," says Youmu. "I'll be right back with some snacks."
