[For the past few days, Iori had been avoiding Mika. After all, it had seemed that he was affecting him, causing him to become more affectionate, simply through pheromones. That's what it was, wasn't it? Iori could sense some of them from Mika, as well, and the last thing he wanted was to create an awkward situation with his roommate, and the only person he's managed to actually befriend since arriving here. So, he'd come home, shut himself in his room except for when cooking. However... it didn't seem to solve the issue. In fact, Mika seemed more depressed?
So, he'd gone out today and purchased something. Two somethings, really... He pauses outside of their apartment and glances down at them in his palm. They're both cat pins, custom made— though Iori will insist that he found them by chance. Black cats, though one of them has white tips to the ears and tail, mismatched eyes and a small chunk missing from one ear. It's rather clear that they're supposed to represent both Mika's and his own Cordis form.
His own black cat ears twitch on his head before he closes his fingers around the gift and pushes the door open.]
I'm home—
[It's what he always calls out, though this time he's greeted by one of the cats almost immediately, meowing almost as if to ask him for attention. There's no response, either, and as he glances across the room, he can spot Mika's collapsed form. Panic lurches in his chest, and he rushes over, dropping to his knees.]
Kagehira-san?! [Ah, careful, he lifts him gently to prop him against his own chest, trying to look him over in order to determine what's wrong. Exhaustion, it seems like... Chroma? Could it be Chroma? Then is holding him like this enough to help? He squeezes his arm gently.]
Mika ; cordis holidays

Kagehira-san, can you hear me?
