Gabriel could have played it off. Could have lied and tried to hide it. But Nagihiko's suspicion was plain, and trying to cover it up now would likely make the situation worse.
So instead, Gabe smiled a bit awkwardly, and confessed, "Well I suppose the metaphorical cat is out of the bag now. Yes, I can see your little friend. Your sister's and Utau's as well."
"I'm not certain why, when it's clear that not everyone can. Honestly, I thought I was seeing things, at first; I slipped and fell when I arrived, and thought might have hit my head without realizing it. But when I kept seeing and hearing them, I realized that they were really there. But it was clear they weren't intended for most people to see, so I opted to keep quiet about it, trusting that if any of you thought I should know about them, you would introduce me. Well, that and I didn't want everyone else to think I was hallucinating. I hope you understand."
