[Natori has been stuck with this mask on his face for a few days now, and while he has a good sense of what causes each of the eyes to open, they've all been excruciating experiences-- finding people he's familiar with in the wild, trying to find something to disclose that is enough to satisfy the mask without just spilling his heart out in the middle of the hotel for all the ayakashi to hear. Instead, he's going to be purposeful about this; sitting cross-legged on his bed surrounded by his wards might not make a difference in terms of vulnerability, but it does make him feel more secure. So does the distance of text. And... Oushi reminds him of Natsume more than he ought to, given how different their circumstances are. If he's going to take the initiative in reaching out, Oushi makes the most sense as a recipient.]
Oushi-kun, I want to try something. Will you help me? You just need to listen.
