"Apparently it's good for catching small particles of Comic Energy," Ryusei said, coming over to look over Utahoshi's shoulder. Just keep talking about the Switches, and it would all be fine. If Utahoshi looked like he was exerting himself, Ryusei would be here to do something—probably threaten to tell Kisaragi, if it came to it. Utahoshi disliked Kisaragi making a nuisance of himself as much as Ryusei, right?

He'd come to that if he came to it. Something on the screen caught his eye. More quickly than he probably should have, Ryusei had leaned forward. "Something just—"
