['Kikkun' usually grimaces at the nickname, or in some cases gives a longsuffering stare to anyone around them. It's going to draw attention, maybe give someone the wrong idea, and they're not really that close -
But not this time. He's too busy watching the nightmarish figure move closer to even notice the beginnings of change in Fueguchi. That figure looks familiar, like an older Fueguchi, he realizes. And in a second, Fueguchi herself cements theory into reality.
As if he wasn't there at all, Fueguchi's mother(?!) starts to move past him. Kidou turns around, seeing how Fueguchi's backing away just as much as he wants to, and then springs into action.]
Fueguchi!
[He stalks over to her, ignoring the fearful stutter of his heart and ice filling his veins that putting himself directly between two nightmares gives him. Is it safe to turn their backs on the woman? Would she strike him?
If it turns out she is real, and if she's violent... But he has no plans on keeping them somewhere potentially dangerous for long, nor does he plan on leaving a lot of other people around to take the fallout from retreating. Maybe it's that she's one of the illusions around here. Maybe she really is here. Maybe she needs help... but given Fueguchi's horror, he's taking absolutely no chances. Someone who is an adult can handle this from here, not them.
Kidou raises his voice, addressing the crowd of increasingly unnerved students that can hear him in a barked order. They'll obey this one, he's sure. He's got some authority, even though it's completely unearned. And they all probably want to flee anyway, but haven't yet. The ripple of unease is getting to be a palpable thing as more and more notice the bloody figure moving in and now among them.]
I'm so glad, this is my favorite thing

Everyone! Get into the school! Go!
[And quieter to Fueguchi-]
Let's go!
