Like Escha is deciding whether or not she wants to answer at all. But in the end she must choose to answer, and opens the door. She keeps her head bowed, like she doesn't even have the energy to look up at Kagachi's face. She is pretty clearly still in the middle of crying, and she's having trouble catching her breath.

[ Oh, right. It would be rude not to let him in. Escha. Steps aside for him to enter. ]

... But she doesn't have the energy to be offended, let alone stay angry. It's not like they're close, so it makes sense he's not here to comfort her. She shakes her head. ]
I don't know. I don't - I don't know anything that will help you.
[ She usually tries much harder to be polite. But today is bad, so: ]
[it definitely wasn't the only thing, but... kagachi knows he's a terrible person for this, and honestly, escha deserves someone better right now. so with a bow of his head—]

For some reason the only thing she can think to tell him is: ]
C-careful of... Our plant. Don't touch it.
[ Apparently this room has a houseplant. Don't worry about it. ]

Speaking of which—do you know who has the antidote?
