As Yuya speaks, Rita watches him with a look of growing confusion. Apparently, she's been out of loop in some areas.

But as soon as he mentions Axel, her expression changes to something not quite happy, and not quite sad. "Yeah... I found him." Absently, she folds her arms and presses them over her ribs, where a constant pain continues to nag at her. She hates what they did to him... and what happened as a result.
