When clusters of students start appearing and academic buildings loom on either side of him, the soft feelings are entirely replaced with a sharp wariness.
Somewhere on this campus are people who would imprison and experiment on an innocent stranger for their own gain. People he can't just track down and kill- people he needs to ruin in a more subtle, careful way, for Manabu's sake.
Grey clenches his fist and moves decisively forward.

Oh. Hello.
[He's used to Manabu going around fairly lightly dressed, but- come on. Manabu's sweaty and breathing hard and when he does pushups like that Grey can see his muscles flexing.
After a moment Grey's brain successfully reboots and he remembers that Manabu's Supposed To Be Resting. He huffs, exasperated.]

I see you're getting plenty of rest.
