Yoru comes back shortly after as he said he would. 

"You okay?" He asks. 

I look up at him, my eyelids heavy. "Yeah, I'm okay." 

"Okay, good." He says as he squeezes past me onto the seat next to me. Once he's settled in the seat he turns to me. "I talked to the pilot, we'll be lifting off in a  few minutes." He says. 

I nod slowly. "This friend of yours in Tokyo, he can help us?" I ask. 

"Yeah, he owes me quite a few favors for saving him so many times. I have a feeling he has something to do with all this." He says. 

I snap my head up. "What do you mean, he has something to do with this? You think he knows who killed them?" 

He cautiously looks at me. "I didn't say that, but he has certain abilities that can help us find out who did." 

He suddenly stands up. "I will be right back. Don't move."

He arrives shortly after carrying a blanket and two pillows. He puts his hands behind my back and slips one of the pillows behind me. Then he covers me with the blanket. 

"This'll keep you warm." He says adjusting it around me. 

"Yoru?" I say yawning. 

"Yes?" comes the answer. 

"This guy you know, how old is he?"
