[It's not about wrong or right. He isn't able to simply cry like that. When his emotions do bubble to the surface, they express themselves in different ways than tears.]
[He takes a deep breath, because he really is at a loss at how to process a strong feeling without the usual cycle of exploding and releasing it. Without that, he just feels tense.]
It isn't that I miss it. But. I just. . . I just want to do something to help Hajime-chan.

[but if he doesn't want to - that's alright too]
... according to the device. We might have to determine if it's for certain tomorrow.
no subject
I want to know why something like this happened.

[his gaze wanders then, drifting back to the door headed outside]
Would you feel better if we kept looking around? Or would you like to rest?
no subject
[He doesn't really know the answer to that question.]
I don't know what to do. I've never felt like this without. . .
no subject
... without?
[he tilts his head, offering gentle prompting]
no subject
[It's not that he doesn't want to answer, but he's not feeling very talkative. Still.]
Usually when this happens, my powers would react as well. I don't cry. I don't yell at anyone. My true emotions. . . are much more terrible than that.
no subject
[he wonders what that must look like - he's not even sure what to imagine. even still - ]
So that's what you mean, that you don't know what to do without your powers to do part of the speaking for you.
[ . . . ]
I'm sorry, for that loss as well.

[so that's not great
he sighs quietly]
I think right now... we can try to look for information, so we can put our best foot forward tomorrow when we all meet.
Or we can take care of ourselves, so that we don't boil over before we get started.
no subject
[That doesn't help him find a satisfying focus for his drive to do something, but it does make sense.]
What can we look for?
no subject
Additional clues or what people have seen, I suppose. You brought some items to the collection point, no?
Perhaps we can go back to that area and search, or see if other areas might have anything left to find.
no subject
[Looking at him like he expects him to go 'aha!' and solve it based on that.]
no subject
All in the same location? Remind me where you searched?
We might need to also retrace Hajime's steps about where she was before we were all locked in and knocked out.
no subject
[Good job, Soo-won. He still has kind of a tense look, but it's less than it was before, he's calmed down a bit.]
