"Ken," Youji answers with a tired sigh. "Let me see your hands. There's a reason I usually wear gloves on missions."
Even as he says it, he's scanning the room peripherally, but for all the firelight, the smoke keeps the building dark. And the circle is tightening. There are definitely others surrounding them; how he knows it, he's not sure, but he wonders if maybe he's still missing something. There is a meaning to the fire; there should be a meaning to who is chasing (?) him.
Where is the doorway? Youji didn't walk through one, he knows that. He remembers entering Ken's room (well, the spare room Ken was sleeping in) and maybe seeing him asleep, but it blanks out after that.
It takes a bit of effort to rip the bottom his shirt to make something he can wrap Ken's hands in. He thinks about asking if Ken had a sharp weapon with him, but dismisses it quickly. Definitely not an experienced assassin sitting there at his feet.
