[While he's arguing the point with Alia, Kokichi may notice - especially with his hyperalert tendency to be paying attention to multiple problems at once - a red flare of light from Setsuna, South, and Kerrigan's comms all at once, especially Setsuna's, which washes out entirely in the process.]

She leans over and drops it on his pile o' notes with a thunk, a sincere but overly casual smile on her face.]
