[It's a full day before Natori gets back to their truth or dare game, which is impressive given how much Chirpy has been screaming at him for leaving the game unfinished. (He even tried exorcising it, briefly but halfheartedly, before tossing himself into other games with other people so he could at least seem busy.)
The problem is that despite it being in the very name of the game, Natori hasn't been telling the truth. Sometimes it's simply not telling the whole truth, sometimes it's eliding the core of the question in favor of a literal interpretation, and sometimes it was outright lies. And so unbeknownst to him, his suit has taken matters into its own hands.
Maybe Natori should have noticed the outside influence on his mood-- but like the most insidious ayakashi, it's subtle enough that it doesn't feel all that foreign. A push behind what he's already feeling, especially when thinking about a person who he already has a complicated mess of feelings about. Once again a disappointment to the exorcist community, Natori snaps back to their game thread and picks up like it's a conversation he never left off, though it's not the one they were just having.]
