And maybe - just maybe - Davis sounds the way that he used to whenever he had set his mind on something back when he was still alive. Josh will feel it: the way the presence in his mind expands, and singularly directs itself to what is right in front of them both.
The former coach is manifesting himself now, materializing right behind Makoto, setting two hands down on the other geist's shoulders. The contact makes Makoto flinch as if he had just taken a bullet; his entire body trembles.
Josh won't hear what Davis is saying. He'll only see his geist bend down, and murmur something into the other geist's ear, and notice, as well, how even though Makoto's shaking his head, the cold slowly starts to recede.
Nearly a quarter of an hour passes before Davis is withdrawing, and Makoto's finally speaking.]
Sorry.
[He's raw, vulnerable, and so far from what he should be that it isn't even funny.]
