Kurumi, for the time being, completely forgot about how awkward she felt around Lexi since she had learned about her and Salander. Right now, that seemed like something so small, so unimportant, that it didn't even matter. There was something really scary going on here and whatever it was was scaring her more than ghost stories ever did. She would rather be in a room filled with cockroaches at the moment.
To show Lexi that she was letting go of everything else at the moment, Kurumi wrapped her small arms around the older girl.
