“Listen to me very carefully, please.”
Her tone is grave, and perhaps it’s not good manners to make a beeline for a complete stranger in the middle of an empty street, abruptly grab him by the shoulders and issue an ominous request, but she’s not great at considering etiquette under pressure. Azusa stares at him intently, and after a long beat, she speaks again to explain, with an almost absurd amount of gravity to her voice given what she is about to say, “...I... am going to hide behind those bushes. A man will come. He might ask you if you’ve seen me, he might not. Do not indicate that I am here in any way. If I’m forced to go back there right now... something terrible will surely happen. Okay?”
