Again.

To him, this chilling rain fit his current mood all too well as he just stood there in the hallways, trudging through silently as he did nothing of sorts to even protect himself. In fact, he was too tired that the only thing he could do was to walk on and try to get his bearings together. February and March at this point, could go to hell for all he care- but that'd be too strong a word for him, hell.

But it's really fitting, since this tower could be comparable to that.

His thoughts were interrupted as he collapsed on a heap, exhaustion, hunger and the cold finally getting to him as he just lied there on the ground, looking as if he's about to die.]

The next question should be only a given.

[ She has to get him back on his feet, now he's moving. ]

Do you wish to leave the tower?

[yougotthatwrong]

Do I wish to? Yes.

[The answer came automatically, as they continued to walk through the tower. It's true that both of the places he was stuck in are just as bad as the other, but he can't help but worry about his family, not to mention his old friends from his earlier days.

Even if he'd be stuck within Hope's Peak within returning, he knows that they'll be able to defeat the Bear, no matter how long it takes.]

...Despite everything that's happened...

[There's now a smile on his face.]

It's still home, after all.

[autopsic]

[ The answer was something she had wanted to ask, but in due time had she waited. She kept her head high as they walked, mulling over his answer and how soon it had come. She knows there is hardly anything left to go back, and see; although, keeping hope alive was something Kirigiri intended to do. First, to know the secrets behind the school, and second her father. ]

I don't believe it is our home, not now.. [ She still didn't want to see it that way. ] It is hardly a home to return to, is it?

However, I believe we will solve this case. [ It pleased her to see him smiling again. ] No matter what happens.

[yougotthatwrong]

It's not exactly the most homey place, but without it, I wouldn't have been able to meet my new friends.

[Take the positive out of every negative, as they'd say.]

...I'm sure we'll find it, the answers to this place.

[autopsic]

Friends? [ What is a friend, and what do we do with them. ] This is how you view every single person you meet. I believe you trust to easily, Naegi-kun.

[ Not that there's something wrong with that, but Kirigiri being Kirigiri and her observations— ]

To both, and no matter how long it will take.

[yougotthatwrong]

Everyone has their good sides, at least, that's what I like to think.

[Darkness and deceit are commonly found above them, but right now, nothing has broken him in terms of trust, that's why it remained one of the things he clung onto in order to keep him from changing.

Maybe one day it will all change, but it'd be alright.

He's... not alone.

And at the second part, he's going to respond to this with a nod, as well as-]

Mm.

[Considering there's no other words to be said at the moment.]
