[Iori goes quiet for a moment at that news. Not the first time. So, Mika's been hiding things from him for longer? At detriment to his own health. He shifts to place a hand over Mika's forehead to check his temperature.]
Why didn't you tell me?
[Despite his earlier snapping comment, Iori sounds so completely genuine in asking this question that there's almost a note of sadness to it. What did he do wrong? Why couldn't he be told? He's blaming himself already. The Cordis moon, the pheromones he was avoiding that he's definitely sensing this close to him now. Mika must be able to smell the same on him.
He'd gotten weird, so he hid away. But was it actually worse that way?]
You can tell me while I help you up. Here, put your arm around me and lean your weight, like this. I don't trust you to stand yet. You're likely experiencing a shortage in Chroma.
