If Nozomi isn't a strong telepath, her conversation partner certainly seems to be. She might not get the response she desires in words, but flashes of thoughts and emotions will swirl about in the mental link they briefly share. Noise. Pain. Screams. Anxiety. Fear. Echoing back and forth until it's not at all clear whose mind these feelings stem from. When she looks at Eri, she will feel her rage. When she glances to Maya, she will see her indecision.
At the end of this, the unseen assailant's face will imprint itself into Nozomi's mind for a brief moment, one hand over an ear, the other holding a finger over her lips. Her face is hauntingly lovely... her hair fans out about her in the water. There is the sensation, the very distinct sensation that this person is drowning... though surely that doesn't make any sense...
Shhh...
And then it is gone.
Back in real time, as Banzu brings the ship to a halt, the sound of the engine dies down to give way to nothing but the sea once again. Eri's scream echoes loudly over the waters, and the ice spears down towards the woman within its depths. Perhaps it strikes true, but it's not entirely clear...
But there will be plenty more time to attempt to strike. All around the boat now, large swells of water gently cascade up from the sea, giving way and receding as something surfaces on each side. To their north, a Starmie; to the south, a Lanturn; to the east, a Jellicent... And to the west, right where they are clustered by the edge, a young woman with vibrant red hair, sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest and a half-smile on her face.
