"Yeah...yeah, I'm fine. I was just sleeping. What's up?"

'Just sleeping' and his tone of voice may set off a few alarms. A dream that went from frightening to not and then back again in the real world, perhaps?

The whispering, meanwhile, has gotten just a little bit louder. It's much like the 'voice' used for the Oni in Hiroshi's dream, neither male nor female but a voice none the less. What exactly they're saying is still not clear and it might just be something in Hiroshi's head because Irezumi hasn't said a word.

Or maybe not.
