He'll hold it out so HiMERU can see it—it really doesn't look any different from what he would be familiar with.] But I know because it's just like mine. I guess it feels a little lighter than before? Kinda like it's not as solid. I know I'm not imagining it.
[Because he's held it before, but also because it's Rinne. He practically made it his business to know.]
He wouldn't have asked me to look after it if he didn't know it could be dangerous, so it's not like... I mean, we both knew. But I watched him die, you know? So...
[So he really can't help but fear the worst. He always does, actually, he just actively tries not to dwell on it.]
