[ rip nagi. soo-won frowns in thought at that, because it's really nothing they can confirm for certain, can they....? ]

... whatever it is, it's probably shrouded in a bit more danger. I'm sorry that you all were some of the first to uncover exactly how much.

[ mumbling in thought, followed by a sigh ]

But I'm sorry that your best friend was used against you so. [ hak is often used to manipulate soo-won's emotions, so he gets that ] Hopefully you'll get to reunite with him outside of here so everything is more... well. Clear.

[ no! we cannot! we cannot confirm that for certain and he hates it! ]

I'd believe it's only gonna get more dangerous the further we go, yeah. And... on the one hand, I'm glad none of us were alone in that experience. On the other, some of them really should not have been there. [ he is so concerned about all three of them actually, but.

more to the point, soo-won mentions yu and again, it's only because he gets that soo-won understands enough because of hak that he allows himself to say anything about it. ]

I would've been more mad if he'd been used to, like, attack me or something. As far as things go, it was just... seeing him was what made my memories come back. It was like being able to have him around for a few minutes only to be taken back just so we'd cooperate. That's the part I hate. [ ... ] We've talked about it and I think he's gonna come back to visit in a few weeks for the long holiday, but that's, like, if we get home before then? At all? Whatever. I guess...

[ he changes his mind about halfway through whatever he was going to say and sighs. ]

One thing at a time.

We're going to get home.

[ said with confidence that doesn't seem to be based in anything at all, but he will gently pat yosuke's hand that he's still holding as he says it ]

You're going to see him again.

I agree with you that it is one thing at a time, but we ought to remember the road we wish to take even as we walk along it. You will return to the people you wish to see. I promise.

[ this is fine. usually he's the one throwing around baseless confidence for everybody else, but he kind of wants to roll back in the river and not get up at the moment. at least he's not thinking too hard about the fact they're still holding hands. ]

... I know. [ he does, logically, know this is true. ] The whole point of doing all of this is to remember why. Losing sight of that's just gonna get us all turned around again. [ his free hand comes up to scrub over his face. ] Sorry, this is so embarrassing.

[ being?? traumatized?? missing your friends?? all of it!! ]

You're right. We're going to get home and everything's going to be fine.

[ soo-won will simply just lightly bump shoulders with yosuke when he scrubs his face, both playful and affectionate ]

I don't think I've heard or seen anything particularly embarrassing from you...

[ oh yosuke you are so silly ]

It's alright. To feel worried or lose faith is normal. But I'm glad you have people you can rely on so that those moments are easier to stomach and push through.

[ thanks buddy... ]

You haven't known me long enough then. [ wry. but he'll take it anyway. ]

People here have been surprisingly nice about all of this kind of stuff, so I want to keep doing the same for them. That's the strength I need to keep going, I think. [ if he can't do it for himself, he'll do it for other people. ] That includes you, too. For anything you need.

[ he will just pat yosuke's hand affectionately ]

I'm happy to simply take your company. I hope you will believe me when I say that is enough.

[ there are things he wants to do or ask for at the moment, but he won't allow himself to. so instead he allows the pat to his hand and he sighs before there's a weak smile. ]

Yeah, with you I do actually believe that. [ he can't do shit to offer political gain or even be anything particularly powerful, but he can offer a normal person experience and he thinks maybe there really is something to that after all. ]
