Bonus round? | Hideaki | Endgame | ATTN: Katsumi/Makoto/Genji
Makoto shook her head slowly in response to some, or maybe all of his words. She didn’t trust this place, for sure. She didn’t trust these visages of the dead students in front of her. She didn’t trust the strange kids she didn’t know from the other class, but most of all…
She didn’t trust herself.
"…Losing your mind? Yeah, I hear ya. I… I feel like I am, too. This is a helluva lot to swallow, and I won’t feel right until we’re back on solid, real ground or whatnot."
"I guess… I hate to say that I was getting used to Tountra or anything, but… we were there for a few months. And then all of a sudden, in the span of a day everything changes. I… I don’t even know if I’ll be able to believe it when we are actually back home…”
"…I’m starting to doubt my own judgement, man. And it sucks… I… I don’t have a clue what I’m gonna do when we get out of here. If we get out. Hell, I don’t know anymore. I-I don’t know…"
She leaned forward, staring intently at the ground and rubbing her forehead. Her head was throbbing.
Hideaki just sat and watched the floor as Makoto spoke, taking in her words, taking in her grievances, her worries... just taking the whole situation in. It was a whole goddamn lot to take in, but he tried his best to manage.
"Well... you can go back to your family, you know? Go back to your regular life, go back to doing your skeptic thing, exposing those frauds and whatnot, just... going back to how it was, y'know?"
His enthusiasm for cheering her up was short-lived, however.
"...although you're right. What if we don't get out of here at all...? Ugh..."
And now Hideaki was feeling the immense stress. Here he thought he was done with this shit once they caught Sachiko...
"...I guess we can't do much but see how it plays out..."
