Jasper follows Herbert to Rita's side with heavy footsteps. She is looming intensely. Her hair is doing the Studio Ghibli standing on end thing, a little.

"Why would she kiss her?" she demands, even though Herbert very clearly has other things to be getting on with and also made it clear that he doesn't know anything else about what happened. She looks about to go on when Zangetsu reemerges from a corridor that does not look at all like the one he just left from, derailing her thought process a little.

She squints at him angrily. "What are you doing," she snaps, as though it's his own fault that the library corridors around them have apparently become non-euclidean.
