[Heigo slams back the last of his coffee and drops his can in the trash as well, shaking his head at Atsushi's concern as he leads the way to the parking lot.]

As soon as I recognize our surroundings, I'm following my usual routes everywhere I need to go. Anyone who wants to stop me will have to lie down in front of my car unless there's already a black hole in the way.

[That's quite an exaggeration of how determined he is not to be led on another wild goose chase, but honestly, today's been so aggressively weird that it's starting to make Heigo angry. He just wants to find a safe, familiar place to relax a bit and consider everything Atsushi just laid out for him, maybe contact some friends and see if any of then can corroborate what Atsushi's said about Retrospec. Not to mention the work he still has to do on his latest short story...

... maybe relaxing won't be a part of his evening after all. But the familiar place damn well will be, he's not budging on that part.]

Here's mine. [He points out his sensible little subcompact car when they reach the parking lot and unlocks it, grabbing his spare glasses the moment he's inside.] Whereabouts do you live, Atsushi?
