There were a lot of things going on through Shun's mind. There were some strange things with Mitsu's behavior here and there, but he wondered if it had something to do with the memory issue. She said things were foggy.. so perhaps she was in a sort of midpoint.
There had to be a way to help her recall a few things.
Maybe something visual could potentially bring some sort of visceral reaction. His love obviously didn't work for that, so he needed something else. Stacey's death had made a bit of an impact on her in a way. Maybe something from there might help...
Didn't Amrita take his coat? In an attempt to sort things out, he tried to seek out the undead girl.. without really knowing where she might be. Still, he had to try and find her.

Amrita had a pretty routine schedule now; Class, and then home. There were very rare instances where she would break her routine, and that was largely due to someone else making her break it. Or, you know, little events involving bands. Today seemed free and clear of interruptions, and the ghoul wandered her way from class, head down and holding her books against her chest.
Normally she didn't look up at the people she passed, but she had been in such a good mood after the BOTB that she couldn't resist at least glancing at everyone she passed. Which meant, naturally, that she spotted Shun loitering near her dorm where she normally would have just walked on by.
Odd. Shun never really went to the Undead Dorms...at least, not that she knew.
"Hi?" She called out, trying to be pleasant but really only sounding confused. "Waiting for someone?"

Unlike Amrita, Shun tried not to think too hard about BOTB. He had other things on his mind anyway and he kind of felt like that event was a bit of a waste of his time. Sure, he got to fight, but it didn't feel like really was too valuable for him in the long run in terms of experience.
After a bit of waiting around, he managed to spot the Vetala coming by. And lucky for him, she took notice of him already.
"You, actually," he stated while keeping his hands in his pockets, "I.. may need a little help with Mitsu. And I think you have something that might be able to aid in the matter."

If it were possible, the ghoul went pale at his words. Well, more pale. He was looking for her? She had something that might help? There was a lapse of awkward silence as she took inventory of everything in her room, and...nothing really stood out as important enough to help Mitsu. That meant...her, maybe? She was in Deus with the ghoul, at least for a little while...but...
"I-I don't...don't think I can help, s-sorry." She murmured unhappily, almost wilting again. "Excuse me." A quick few words for a quick attempt at getting past him and into the dorms, as if it were a safe house.

Shun frowned as she tried to brush him away. Rather than let her go, he stepped in the way, putting a hand on her shoulder to try and keep her in place.
"Unless you've gotten rid of it, you can," he said firmly. He wasn't sure what her deal was right now, but he wasn't going to let this slip too easily.
"I'm talking about a certain coat." he said quietly, not wanting to say too much in the public.
"You should know what I'm talking about. You took it."

She should have known he'd stop her. The ghoul made a very low, rather quiet whine of distress but stopped regardless, glancing up at him as he felt the need to be firm with her. Gotten rid of it? How could she get rid of it? It was part of her, part of her very core! There was no way she could--
...Coat?
The word made her realize what he'd been looking for, and again she froze, her muscled tensing. "...Why?" Was all she could bring herself to question.

That seemed to catch her attention.
"I don't know if you heard, but Mitsu has lost her memory. That.. incident sort of impacted her a lot. Made her think about a lot of things. It might be a stretch but something from that incident might jog her memory. I'm trying anything I can to see if it'll help her," he said quietly. Shun released her shoulder and placed his hand back into his pocket. The object in question should still be covered in the man's blood too, he figured.
"I will return the coat when I'm done. Either way. If you'd like, you can come along as well."
There was a pause.
"So please... will you allow me to use it?"

Amrita listened, but wasn't happy with what she heard by any means. Sure, Mitsu's memories still seemed to ellude her, but...using the coat to 'help'? How could that possibly help? Even after Shun asked her nicely for it, she hesitated. She didn't even want to see that coat anymore.
"Doesn't that seem...really cruel to you?" Trying to shock her with something as horrific as a dead Hunter's coat? Sure, the Hunter might've been killed, but...they spent a while in that place. The ghoul pressed what remained of her lips together, and with a sigh gave an inch. "...Is it a last resort?"

"Cruel?"
Shun was a little confused on why it would be cruel. It wasn't as if Mitsu was a friend of Stacey or anything like that. It was a little hard for him to relate on that matter since he didn't really bear any emotions regarding the death of that man.
"But yes, I don't really have any other options."
Well. There was Riley, but the lycan had objected to letting her prod around her mind. So that wasn't really much of an option at this point.
"Please.." he requested again, in a softer tone.

She couldn't answer him. She felt it was a cruel thing to do to Mitsu, but couldn't quite put into words why it was. Amrita just continued to think that this was a little - okay very - mean, but...Shun explained that they had no other options. If it was a last resort, then...it was less cruel, in her mind. They'd tried everything else, and she believed that he did.
"...A-alright." She submitted finally, sidestepping a little bit to get past him and into the dorms. "I'll bring it out." If Shun wanted to follow her she wouldn't stop him - rather, couldn't stop him - but she disappeared into the dorms regardless, heading down to her room.
Once in her room she glanced back to see if he had followed her, and regardless of whether or not he had she opened the door, nudged DC aside, and hit a specific spot on the floor with her toes. Her floor was mostly concrete, but it was clear once upon a time it used to be concrete under a hardwood floor; a large patch of floorboards still remained, mostly hidden by her bed. She had hit it just right and the floor creaked up, letting her in to pick up a frayed and well-loved bag.
Lizzy had long since taken the tablet from it, but the Hunter's jacket remained folded in her own bright yellow one, and stored away in this bag. She often wore a Hunter's scarf around her waist, but that was easier to play off as normal; a Hunter's coat was not something anyone wanted to see.
"How are you gonna use it?" She asked softly once she found Shun again, holding the fabric filled bag to her chest; she wasn't going to give it up, at least not yet.

Nodding, Shun decided to wait outside, letting out a breath as he stood there. Before too long, he spotted the undead girl again with a bag being held close to her chest.
"I was just going to show it to her. Hold it out. Unless you believe I should wear it?" he stated before asking a sort of suggestion. He didn't particularly want to wear a hunter's coat, but he had to also wonder if that would somehow be more effective.
Either way, he took his hands out of his pockets and held one out to see if she would give him the bag.

Showing it and wearing it were two very different things; she wasn't sure which was better, really. She only shrugged to his question, hugging the bag tighter against herself as he reached out to take it. Then, as if realizing what she was holding, made a face and held the bag out to him.
"I'm coming with you, and I want it back when you're done." She felt it necessary to express this; she hated the Hunters, she hated being their puppet...but this was a constant reminder that they too can do damage. It was as reassuring as it was disgusting to her.

Shun took the bag before peeking into it. At first it didn't look like it was there, but he reached in and fished around until he caught sight of the white fabric. Yes. This was it alright. Taking in a breath, he glanced back up towards Amrita and nodded to her.
"Fair enough. Let's go then."
He was fine with her being there, as well as her taking the coat back. He had no other use for it after all. Not wanting to waste anymore time, he turned towards the monster dorms to head towards Mitsu's room. There were other reasons aside from the memory thing that was eating at him. She had said a rather human term the other day. And now that he thought about it, other things had been strange.
It was eating at him.
In silence, he made his way to the room before letting himself in.
"Mitsu? Are you awake? I... have something to show you.." he said quietly before glancing to Amrita with a sense of uncertainty. He didn't know how this was going to go.

Mitsu was indeed awake, her eyes scanning a notebook as she stood by the window peering out from time to time. There was no warning when the door opened, Shun was just there which startled her enough to turn around sharply regarding him for a moment before her expression softened.
"Something...to show me?" She closed the notebook and set it aside shortly after noting the presence of another. "Oh um...You're...Amrita?" She was certain that was the name she had been given before.

Amrita trailed after the boil in silence, her arms folded across her stomach to hold her elbows. This was mean, so mean...but if it was a last resort, maybe it was the only thing that could do it. Shocking someone into their memories...that could be forgiven in the long run, or so she hoped.
When they stood in front of Mitsu's door, it was Shun she was watching, even as they walked into the room. When he glanced at her she gave him what she hoped was a reassuring smile, and finally turned her attention towards Mitsu, trying to keep that smile on her lips.
"Yes, that's right! Hello, Mitsu." Amrita was trying really, really hard to not make her worry more than she had to. "How have you been?" It was a reflex question, nothing more.
