[ The laugh is hard to place, but Kano doesn't get any more time to ponder over what it means, as he's got to make sure his grip is tight enough that he doesn't slide backwards, clutching Yuya close enough that his face presses against his back, watching out for any figure in the window.
The window was already open from when he had intended to jump, originally, and he hadn't closed it the entire time he'd led the monster into his room. That makes it easy for the monster to spot the three of them, but it also allows the monster to scramble over to the window and place her foot up onto the windowsill in the exact same position he was in before, stomach lurching when he hears her voice.
"Shuuya— Shuuya, no! That's dangerous! You'll fall!" Panic, worry, desperation. Over him. He needs to make this stop. It's his fault she's feeling these things.
The monster opens her arms wide, foot and a knee balanced on the windowsill.
"Come back to me! Shuuya!!"
Her voice breaks, choked with a sob, and all Kano can do is sit there and be silent, squeezing Yuya even tighter or else he'll be tempted to leap back into his mother's arms. ]
