Kaneki had asked to bring someone with him and she had thought it must be someone like himself, someone who had suddenly begun to have serious misgivings about what they were doing and where they were, but--
He'd appeared with Luther, and it had been Josh.
After all her searching, all her poking around and spying, she'd finally found him, and it had been an accident. She should be happy - and she is, in a way, that he's back with them and he's safe - but there's a strange bitterness to it. He had been right under her nose the whole time.
She waits until she's sure he's alive, until Kaneki has been taken somewhere secure, and then she leaves. No fuss, no dramatics, she simply walks away and does so entirely unnoticed in the general hubub. She goes up to the aviary just to spend some time with the calm and quiet minds of creatures who have such simple things to speak of, and she should expect to be followed, yet Luther's voice still makes her jump in surprise.]
Oh-- [And she rubs at her eyes with the back of her wrist.] Luther. Come in.
