"There are some things I wish I didn't know," Tri sighed as he straightened back up and guided Percy back inside. "Anyhoo..."
With a flick of the wrist, Tri summoned a shadow tendril to grab a book off a shelf and hurl it around a corner. It audibly thumped against an unseen force, earning a barely-suppressed yelp in return. Two seconds later, Kelsey stormed out from between the bookcases, tenderly rubbing her arm and angrily looking around. "Alright, who's the dickhole?"

"I, uh..." Percy looked at Tri, then in the direction of the shout. "Tri! That wasn't very nice! And I shouldn't be shouting at you anyway because- gah!- liquidizing lungs!" He clenched his chest, actually coughing. He was surprised that he didn't hack up any pieces of his failing organs, really. "K-Kelsey...!" Fast-walk, don't run. "Here!"
Something's not right, Imago noted from his position within Kelsey's head. Sounds like my landlord has something a bit worse than a sore throat.

"Your..." Taken aback slightly by Imago's comment, Kelsey whipped around the moment she heard her name, quickly spotting the source of her strife. "Percy..."
She hastily dashed over to the boy, anxiously looking him over, clearly assuming the worst already. "I-I'm gonna guess that was Tri who- Oh, never mind. How bad is it??"
"Missed you too," Tri flatly chuckled into Kelsey's deaf ears.

"Hey..." Percy offered Kelsey a small wave, clenching his chest. Yep, it's spreading to the heart now. What fun. "How's Imago been? Hasn't tried bodyjacking you and letting you wake up with a bloody arm?"
That was one time. One. Fucking. Time!
"My organs hurt and they feel like they're melting," he replied. "Started with just my mesenteries, and now I think it's spread to my heart." Percy managed a grimace of a smile. "I dunno about you, but I actually miss Imago and not having my organs turn to goop."

"Imago and I are fine. Listen..." Too impatient to beat around the bush, Kelsey grabbed Percy by the shoulders and looked him square in the eyes. "Will and I have been looking for you all morning. He said he was gonna look for you here while I checked around the city. Thank goodness I decided to double-check here myself, because as you've now gathered, time is of the essence. Archdemon energy is not to be tampered with lightly, and Tri, if you're listening, you could've warned him before kicking off this arbitrary wild goose chase!"
"I planned on mentioning it at some point."
"But what matters now is that we find Will, meet up with Lark, and see if he can't put Tri and Imago back in their proper bodies before you succumb to irreversible demonic poisoning. Now come on." And with that, Kelsey took Percy by the wrist and started hauling him towards the library's front entrance.
