[He'll stop and consider her question for a moment.]
. . . I was glad I was there. I felt awful for that, because I was causing my team more trouble. But in the end, I'd asked to be allowed to help make decisions, but I only wanted to run away.
I didn't want to spend all day at trial pretending not to know what had happened, or spend any more time lying to people when I knew something terrible was going to happen to them. I felt lucky, to have been able to tell Elsa-san the truth directly, when others had to wonder how she would feel.
[ She connects some dots in her head. They may not be the right dots, but she nods. ]
There are things we are all better suited for, and you came across something you weren't, but you still tried. There's no shame in recognizing that. It's better to be aware.

Ruler-san! Of course!

Why don't you talk to me about what you experienced?
[ All she ever does is try to make him talk, but it's nothing she's going to stop now that he's returned. ]
no subject
[He doesn't mind talking, exactly.]
Which part? How we got back here? Or before that?
no subject
[ She's going to take a seat. Even if I have no idea where this PC is, they are somewhere she can sit down. ]
Anything you'd like to say or anything you feel as if you wish you could say but haven't.
[ How has the graveyard impacted him? ]

[ No matter what that means. ]
Did you have a good conversation with her?
no subject
I was glad I was able to have it.
And I was glad I was able to see Yoshizawa-san, and Vezda-san, and I didn't have to be sad with everyone when Ochako-chan and Archer-san died.
no subject
... I know Elsa wasn't in the best state before she died. I... was not sure how things where you were would have helped her or not.
[ Jeanne was worried. She's still worried honestly. ]
At least you could have some reunions even if they were not for the happiest reasons.
[ ... ]
I did miss you, Shigeo.

Now, all we have left is to fight off some kind of virus. Do you think you're up to it?
