Hisoka and Maji met them along the way. More specifically, Suko and
Koda turned a corner and smashed into them. Both Suko and Koda were
sent tumbling head over heels.
Suko struggled to push themself up. All the air had been knocked
from their chest. At the very least, Hisoka-brat wasm't on them
anymore. So. Breathing, yes.
Hisoka sat back, rubbing his head. "Be careful where you're going,"
he muttered.

Hisoka's eyes closed. "I apologize for disturbing you." For someone
not much older than them, he looked very old. Tired, as if his very
bones dragged him down. "We should go now."
"Yes," Suko said coldly. "Go."
Hisoka's eyes opened. He looked at Suko as if seeing them for the
very first time.
"The first day we arrived. You were the only one not knocked
unconscious."
Suko's inhaled sharply. "Koda, let's go."

Hisoka didn't seem to notice. His eyes were locked on Suko. "You
know what I'm accusing you of," he said softly. "You've known since
we first met that I'd know. That I'd figure it out. That's why you
had-"
"That's enough." Suko glanced at Koda. "Koda, let's go eat. I'm
hungry."
"We will eat as well." And the tension in the air dissipated.

Koda huffed, shuffling slightly closer to Suko. She clenched then
unclenched her fist, sighing. She again placed her hand on Suko's
shoulder, attempting to smile, in her odd way. She gave up and
gently butted her head into their shoulder instead.
Suko smiled gratefully at her. But they seemed more shaken than
they let on. Had what Hisoka said rattled them so much? Did he know
something Koda didn't?
The four arriver at the cafeteria. It was dead silent.
Hisoka cleared his throat. "Shall we?"
