[Rei is roaming the mansion looking for Bagheera. She's carrying a slightly modified communication device tied to a thick cord in one hand and what looks like a smoothie in the other.

Occasionally she stops and just leans on the wall or sits on the stairs, drinking her smoothie and looking around.

All tags are welcome.]

[... How familiar. Minato nodded, looking up at the ceiling of the Mansion for a moment or two before looking back at her.]

Do you think it is?

[It takes her a minute to find the words to explain.]

People here.

[And somehow, they still aren't sufficient.]

Do you mean interactions with them? Or something like friendship?

[He nodded once, thinking he could understand that.]

That's its nature. It changes you. And also gives you strength when you need it most.

[A pause of sorts.]

Were you looking for someone before this?

You're right. [That was a long pause considering what she had wanted to say.]

You did the modification?

[A nod, and then a pause.]

... Rei. Could I ask you for your help once more?

[Minato held his own comm device in hand.]

You've sent me an unhackable message before. Could you show me how you did that?

[Rei sets down her smoothie and takes the device from him. Holding it between them, she demonstrates how to do this, though she says nothing as she performs the action.]

[Minato watched carefully, not wanting to ask her to do this again since he hadn't wanted to trouble her. He stayed silent and let her work until she was finished.]
