[He looks about as bad as Akechi did the other day with Akira and Luna. His brows are together and his face his grim, but he's also trying not to nod off which is why his head jerks up.]
I didn't care... The heart is in there! I know it is... [He pauses to rest his eyes, managing not to fall asleep thankfully.] I wanted to see... what happened if I slept there on the night someone was cursed.
Master Blue said... the heart looked the same on the outside, but was different for others on the inside...
[He frowns. It looks like... he's listening?]
I don't know... I've never heard it before. It sounds like... a bell? No... not a bell... [He doesn't know how to make the sound, so he hums it:] Mm. [A one or two second pause.] Mm. [Another one or two second pause.] Mm.
... Not a bell, but something that happens in two second long intervals. [Why did the ye olde have to get this effect.] Does it sound like something is vibrating?
[Godspeed, indeed. GOOGLE HAS FAILED ME-- But pretend he will play all the standard android phone ringtones? And some other sounds like, a heart monitor or something.
We will never discover what this is because Jin Ling is a ye olde. Rip in pieces.]
[First of all, he's tired, and this phone is fucking WILD. He's so bewildered by the fact Akechi can hold this thing and make all of these noises and musical sounds.] Instrument...? [WROW.
But then at the heart monitor, he reaches out suddenly and grabs Akechi's forearm like that'll make it pause, or replay, or whatever.]
If I'm not mistaken, Master Blue also told Lio Fotia that room isn't our only route to the house's heart. Even if it's related, there's another option available to us.

What...?

... Is something wrong? Where did you sleep last night?
no subject
The room that... lets you see what you want... I was trying... to find the heart.

If it would show me something different.

[Jin Ling, you're making him age.]
Is the exhaustion the only thing wrong?
no subject
What...? How do you know that... for sure? [He shakes his head wearily.] I can... hear something. A noise.
no subject
[... He blinks, though, a little concerned.]
Can you describe the noise to me?

No. It's like... a chime. Like... [He reaches up to rub at his chest.] It isn't... bothersome. But it repeats over and over. Mm. Mm. Mm.
[He drums the sound on his chest. Tap. Pause. Tap. Pause. Tap.]

Akechi furrows his brows at that, thinking... before he pulls out his phone to go through his ringtones.]
I'm going to play several sounds for you. If one of them resembles what you're currently hearing, you will let me know. Can you do that?
no subject
Okay.
[Godspeed, Akechi.]

That! That's what it sounds like!

Ah— The heart monitor?

The what? It sounds like that, yes. What is it?

Why that room...? How do you know that room isn’t related to the heart of this place? Everything leads there... And Master Blue said...
