(Leos finally manages to get awake.)
(Through her holographic form, Sthesia notices something off about Aichi.) Are you okay, Aichi?
To be fair, Gjallarhorn didn't develop magic. We just used the technology we developed in order to help the world.

-Aichi snapped out of his thoughts.-
"H-Huh? Oh... I'm fine..."
-It didn't sound very convincing... at least Aichi was aware of that. He doesn't want to talk about his Psy Qualia, but he can't just convince them that he's all right with that unconvincing attempt at assurance.-
"I was just wondering... what exactly caused different people to end up here. Mr. Valescu asked if something I did something unusual or strange before I arrived here and it made me wonder..."
"...if something happened... Maybe there was something strange that happened and I don't remember?"
-Well... that's part of the truth. He didn't mention his powers and how they're connected to Vanguard, but he did tell them he's worried. He's rather wary of those powers... not that he'd have a way to use them now, but that doesn't change his unease.-
-Perhaps you can tell that he's skirting part of what's bothering him.-

"... I'll be fine."
-He gives both Sthesia and Leos a small smile. You can tell it's a little forced.-
"I shouldn't be worrying about this anyway..."
-No one else plays Vanguard here. The only way his Psy Qualia can activate at all other than that is by constructing his deck... which he can't do here either. So...-
-... he should be safe from having it suddenly activate. This makes him feel a little better as he thinks about it. He decides to try reassuring them that he's fine again.-
"Sorry... I just couldn't help but worry about something is all. I'll be fine!"
-At the very least he sounds more honest about it this time. It's possible you can tell that that's not all there is to it, but at least he's managing to seem a little less stressed out.-
Kitchen
-Aichi kind of feels guilty now for not sharing more information with them...-
"Thank you. I appreciate that a lot... really. It's just..."
-Should he tell them? He nearly sighs. Leos has been a good friend to him so it's only fair he's completely honest with him.-
"... I'm worried about a strange 'ability' I have."

-Aichi's not entirely sure what a Newtype is, but he keeps going.-
"The cards tell me how to win. I don't know where the ability came from, but I got somehow... At first I thought I was becoming stronger, but..."
-He's thinking of Kai now. How much he wanted to become stronger to be worthy of fighting him again...-
Kitchen
-Aichi gets a sheepish look on his face.-
"I-It probably sounds really weird, doesn't it...?"
-He then switches back to what he was saying.-
"Something happened and I got obsessed... I felt strong and powerful... and I wanted to be more powerful. I threw away my deck when I was offered another one that was supposed to be strong..."
-You can tell by the look he has that he's not proud of this in the slightest. He feels extremely guilty-
"I made people feel the pain their Vanguard would have felt... I was terrible to my friends... and it was all for the sake of becoming stronger... I didn't snap out of it until Kai... err— a friend of mine snapped me out of it in a cardfight."
"I keep worrying that it's going to happen again. That if I play Vanguard it'll activate again. I've had to stop it a few times... and being questioned about whether or not something strange happened before I arrived here made me wonder if this power, Psy Qualia, had something to do with it."
Yeesh. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
...Maybe it's a good thing? That even if you possess this... Psy Qualia? That your friends were able to help you out. But as for whether that's a factor in coming here...?
We probably might not be able to help you there. Sorry, Aichi.
Yep, last one. See you later, Crystal.

"All right..."
-Aichi seems to start slipping into deep thought.-
-He's thinking about the question he was asked before. 'Had he been doing anything spectacular or unusual when he ended up here'? He would have noticed if his Psy Qualia activated... and he would have stopped it. Yet... maybe it had something to do with? It couldn't have though... He highly doubts anyone else here has that ability...-
"..."
-It's apparent that he's somewhat tense.-
