[Yusuke's body tenses as Hiro leads up to his conclusion... and then visibly sags at his 'reveal'.]
A rock? Seriously? We went through all this trouble for a--
[And then the other shoe drops, and there's an irritated growl in reply. It took a good amount of willpower not to just bop the kid on the head for messing around with them, and to Yusuke's credit, he doesn't do so until Hiro's done with his analysis. (Don't worry, it's not that hard-- it's more like a noogie.) He's actually kind of impressed Hiro was able to gather that much in such a sort time, however.]
That's for the lame lead-in.
So, a battery, huh? Wonder if it's connected to whatever powers the tech around here or something... though it doesn't make sense why it'd be sticking in a window, of all things. Or why that ghost was so protective over it, for that matter. I mean... who gets their ghostly undies in a bunch over a fancy looking double-A?
[He feels Rei's eyes upon him at the question, and Yusuke glances at her, before looking back at Hiro. Part of him didn't really want to hand it off to someone else, given the circumstances of how he got it, but... on the other hand...]
Do what you gotta do, though. It's obvious that there's nothing in my-- or Rei's-- area of expertise that can figure out this thing, and you already found out way more than we did in a much shorter amount of time. Just fill me in with whatever you wind up discovering, alright?
