Iwasawa: ... (mouth hangs open, then closes, then opens again as she searches for an appropriate response) Um...yeah, get hit...So...
(Aichi can probably her the rising tension in her voice, even as she stays calm in tone.)

-...-
-...Aichi knows that type of reaction...-
-The rising tension... He knows it well.-
-He never feels at ease anymore, but there are certain things that seem to trigger it... make it worse...-
-Being suddenly approached from behind, hearing something loud, anything that reminds him of Youmu...-
-...Yeah. He feels it too. Far too often.-
-She's trying to keep calm. Something about what he said is making her tense up.-
-...Similar to himself...-
-He feels extremely guilty now...-
"...Sorry... I'll be more careful from now on."
-...Perhaps he should try to change the subject...-
"...I'm Aichi Sendou. What's your name?"
Iwasawa: Uh, no, not really, just...wanted know what the weather's like outside. (Uh-huh.) ...you been here long?

-...Yeah, he doesn't believe that for a second...-
"I've been here..."
-...Wait, how long has he been here? His sense of time was kind of screwed up because of that whole dreamworld thing... How long was he in there? How long was he being led around by G?-
-Kind of makes it hard to think back to just how long he's been here...-
"...for a little while."
-...He's curious about the 'weather' as well...-
"...How is the weather? I haven't looked outside yet..."
-He can see the window from here, right? What can he see?-
Iwasawa's Room (Survivor Aichi)
"I think I understand what you mean..."
-He nearly sighs.-
"It's strange, isn't it? Time either moves very rapidly, or painfully slowly..."
-He seems to slip into his thoughts, perhaps seeming a tad zoned out.-
-He's usually decent about not losing his focus, but sometimes he finds himself slipping into something of a... well, not a trance obviously, but he finds himself kind of getting lost in his thoughts.-
-How many times has it felt like everything was moving so slowly during his adrenaline rushes...? Or how many times did it feel like an eternity as he tried to remain quiet and hidden...?-
-And then there were the times it all seemed to blur by, in the rush of a fight...-
-...An unsettling feeling...-
-He can't help but find himself thinking back to it all...-
-...No, no... Don't focus on it. Try to keep yourself in the present...-
-He manages to snap himself out of that, although it's still clear that it's still on his mind.-
-Think of something to say, anything to say... Something to change the subject.-
"...U-Um..."
-Iwasawa can probably tell he's rather desperately trying to get his mind off of something... Not to mention the somewhat frantic stutter...-
Iwasawa's Room (Survivor Aichi)
-Music...-
-He nods.-
"Yeah, I do..."
-Not that he's had the chance to listen to any of his music... He had music on his phone, but it was stolen too... Not to mention that music would just attract noise.-
-He used to enjoy listening to music a lot... Heck, he even used to sing along in private.-
-He never particularly wanted anyone to hear him though.-
-At the very least the subject change is helping. And it's a subject he somewhat enjoys.-
-He may have never mentioned it, but Aichi has a healthy appreciation for music.-

Upstairs Hallway (Survivor Aichi)
-We all know the drill about this Aichi's appearance, but once again the gist is: Unkempt, permanent stains on clothes, ripped up clothes, crowbar strapped to back.-
-Reminiscing...-
"I see... I know the feeling... Reminiscing, I mean..."
-He still finds himself thinking back to the happier days back home...-
-...Of course he's not letting himself get sucked into the past, but it's still a little hard to get it out of his mind...-
"You just get hit by it all at once..."
