"Yo, good morning... Whoa!"
Early the next morning, when Saten Ruiko arrived at the institute, the first thing she saw was Reiji standing motionlessly on the second-floor stairs, staring fixedly at the main entrance. It gave her quite a scare.
"Miss Reiji? Mr. Fang Zheng let you out? Are you all right?"
However, Reiji naturally did not answer Ruizi's question. She merely glanced at the two of them before turning and leaving. Ruizi exchanged a puzzled look with Misaka Mikoto.

With just that one short sentence, Kurumi had completely settled Reiji.
