She waits. There's obviously a lot going on in his mind for a few moments, and it's clear why that would be when Roland reads from the book. It sounds like a fairytale- it reads like a fairytale as well.

In her line of work, she's well acquainted with how real fairytales can be.

Slowly, Yuume nods- a show of understanding, that she's hearing what it is Roland is saying. It's strange to think about- the idea of a soulmate, someone mirroring her. But she thinks she can grasp the idea.

Part of her can't help but think of how some of her peers would jump at this for the sake of the research potential. Inwardly, she crushes that thought in disgust.

This is important- from what the very fairytale suggests, it could be a matter of Roland's health.

So Yuume nods- slowly, and then more firmly. "I believe I have the basics of it, yes- from what you've shared, I would hazard a guess that you have met your own soulmate- a situation which could potentially grow dangerous for yourself despite separation depending on." Only himself, she thinks quietly. After all, he had asked about 'one-way' bonds for a reason.

"If there is anything I can do, it is diagnose what is happening with your soul right now. It might take a bit to find what represents that bond, but I can assure you at the least that as a trained professional, non-invasive investigation is my focus. Nothing will so much as be looked to any longer than necessary."

That aside. "I will need to prepare a room in medical for this, however; during the procedure for diagnosis, both of us will be asleep to the waking world. As well, I need to find someone capable of acting as a 'spotter'- someone to watch our bodies."

The way she describes it sounds almost as if Roland will absolutely be present within his own soul.

In fact, that's what she means exactly.
