Manabu startles a little at the sound of a voice, his head quickly whipping around toward its source. He blinks, gawking for a beat before processing what's being spoken, since the fact he's not the only one stuck around here is...strange, to say the least. When things get weird, it's often he finds himself bumbling into the weird...if it wasn't already engulfing the platoon, at least.

Same? Sap and crystal...

"Yeah, it..." He blinks. "Wait...where did that thing go?" The crystal. Multi-pointed, multi-faceted star-shape...it felt very important. He'd had his hands on it moments ago before his attention drifted. "It was just here a moment ag--huh?"

He blinks, finally noticing the star-shape painted over his heart.

"Uh...ye-yeah...it...was floating...but I think...it's here now?" Somehow that feels right, even though it also sounds weird to say.
