[After they finally made it to the main lobby, Sayo didn't answer at first. He just looked over his shoulder at the direction where they came from. He already knew the apparitions didn't follow them this far - he didn't feel the stares or his own voice calling out to him - but he still looked.
And then, he finally answer.]
... I'm alright. [Maybe.] But I don't like it.
[Sayo doesn't care if others saw his younger self. But he's more worried about what it means for others, such as his brothers or his master.]
Mitsutada could say the same for himself, to be honest. It might sound too easy to write the ghosts off as some sort of diversion NPC or other, but the fact that they kept saying ominous things just added to the creepiness of it all. ]
... yeah. Wonder why they'd pop up all of a sudden, huh?
[ He runs a hand through his hair to try and appear more relaxed, but it doesn't exactly work.
How did they know about his Oda self? The part of him that he's always denied? ]
This is a hospital, it's not for dying in. Unless... someone got murdered here?
[ Mitsutada taps his chin, thinking back to how he didn't even sense his younger self approach at all. All tsukumogami had some level of spiritual pressure to them. ]
That's quite possible, yes.
[ If the murder was referring to player characters getting KO'd by the creeper nurses, it isn't too far off a stretch. If not, then it probably was a 'plot clue'. ]
Seems like it. The nurses tend to assault us, though. So they're probably not important.

[It's pretty effective, since as swords, they can't exactly deny the deaths they personally caused.]
Can someone get murdered here?
[Sayo never try reaching that point. Being defeated by virtual enemies instead of real, live ones doesn't make him happy.]
Unless... it happened to those people like the nurses and doctors here? [The NPCs.]

[If they're using NPCs to mark the important "plot clue", he could see if the victim was someone with a reasonably high rank.]
Have you seen anyone that might look like they're... in charge?
