There are more names on Kyoko's list of people to look out for than she expected. And this particular blue idiot is one of them. When Yondu introduced them, she hadn't expected to -- well. To spend so much time with him just doing normal shit. Talking about magic over snacks is familiar in a heart-achingly way, but with him, it's different enough that it feels like establishing a new normal instead of sadly echoing the past. Dragging him into playing DDR with her, and then listening to music together in the music car, and reading manga together... This is the kind of shit normal kids her age are supposed to do. And it's -- It's weird, but it isn't... It's less suffocating than she expected.

And the time that she spends on the train, stuck at the platform, stuck waiting -- waiting -- She spends that time doing a lot of thinking. A lot of worrying. And when it was time to finally do something, to bring her missing people back to the train -- By then, she had a list.

She focuses on Idia, and the emergency beacon draws her in. This isn't like rescuing Nozomi, though -- Idia apparently isn't just... out in the void. He managed to make it home. The moment it solidifies around her, Kyoko barely spares her surroundings a glance -- She has eyes on Idia, and that's what matters.

She holds up a hand in greeting and simply says, "Yo." Of course she's playing it cool.
