Some people are simply made out of many emotions, at all times, while none of them manage to be particularly guilt-feeling.
Jingyi's response to the squeeze is to interpret it as Inigo needing more contact, but rather than squeeze back (for once, it was probably safe for him to do without his self-taught limits), one arm squeezed, the other patted Inigo's upper back. There, there.
"Usually I'd say that's creepy and very spiritual of you," he says, lips twitching into a smile that he sighs after forming. "It's rude, you know? That you could see us, but none of us could talk across whatever warding they've put up. Taiki's worried out of his mind, and now I've disappeared on him too... we knew it wasn't violence, we couldn't find any blood."
Scant comfort, but for people who had their own reasons to suspect foul play, it was one kind of reassurance that wherever people were disappearing to, it wasn't done with carelessness to their persons.
"None of that's your fault. Take it from someone used to abductions," he says, voice turning dry rather than wry, "Before we ever ended up on a train."
