[Rei nods along with what he's saying. She follows. Energy grids existed in the Planetary Castles, as far as she knew, and inside Ami's little demiplane, so that wasn't too foreign. She doesn't have much to say though, except to add to Yusuke:]
It's just a block or two from here, I can show you if that helps.
[Yusuke rests a hand on his chin, giving Hiro's theory some thought. It made sense, but...]
Was it the ghost it was keeping trapped, then? No, that wouldn't be right, why would it be protective of something keeping it stuck there...?
[His head snaps up, though, at Hiro and Rei's offer, blinking a few times in disbelief.]
Wait, uh-- for real? It's not gonna distract you or anything?
[And there's a slight frown as he weighs his options.]
I'm not really, er... a science kinda guy. I'm probably gonna wind up standing around being awkward or accidentally break your developing cure for cancer or something like that. Not that I'm not interested in what this thing actually is, but...
[He'll be like a bull in a china shop, is what he's trying to get at.]
If there was something out there that I was afraid of, I'd want to be behind glass, too. [Just saying. They don't really know just yet what it could have been. But he's already sliding more of his tools back into his bag and nodding along.]
Dude, you make it sound like my lab's super clean or whatever. It's fine. [He's a super genius but he's also still a young teenager.] Plus I think we can probably find you a chair and then you can be sitting around awkwardly instead of standing...and I trust Rei to keep you in line. [That might be a joke, but he's grinning up at Rei anyway. Back him up on this.]
Exactly. Like the prison I was in. And I've seen things like that before. Hell, one of my duties at home is to watch over something that's sealed away. [She's referring more to the general duties a priestess has instead of something senshi related, but there's that too.]
And it should be okay. Hiro's right, his lab is not exactly organized. Cluttered is the word I'd use. Like the rest of him. [She shakes her head, ruffling his unruly hair. He is still a kid.]
Besides, it's not like you're going to be touching anything delicate, right?
[There's a brief, quizzical look in Rei's direction at her comment-- so much of her life at home was a mystery-- and Yusuke crosses his arms in thought.]
But what could be scary enough to spook a ghost? If it was to keep it safe, then why didn't it just tell us that? Maybe I would have put them back instead of all... this. [Nevermind that he broke them all, but--]
[There's something almost akin to a pout at both Hiro and Rei's comments, however, and he lets out a small, annoyed huff.]
I'm not the kid here, guys, knock it off. I mean, I'm not gonna do something stupid and turn on all your Bunsen burners all at once or something. [... would Hiro even have those in his lab? WHO KNOWS.] I just... I'm not gonna get half of this stuff, okay?
[But his expression shifts to something more muted, debating it over in his head.]
But... if you say it's cool, then alright. I'll pop in at some point, just to see how things are going. Do you know how long it'll take, though?
There were a few things that pissed off the ghosts around here a few months ago. Could be something like that...and I don't have Bunsen burners! [Huff. It's almost like he's been insulted.] I'm not the chemist here. But it shouldn't be hard to explain everything to you once I figure it out myself...I'm not entirely sure how long it'll take. Depends how hard it is to crack open and study. Maybe a couple of days? Maybe a week? Depends how the tech behaves.
[You know, like it has a personality.] You're both free to drop by whenever. I have a couple of other things I want to study anyway so this shouldn't be too hard to work in.

I am so sorry for the delay!
