It's okay. I've...things like this have happened before. [not to this extent, and it's probably good this isn't emotion-sharing week because she'd easily pick up on the fact that he's still pretty worried.] But I want to prepare everybody as best as I can. Just because we went in without knowing doesn't mean everybody else should.
Who knows? Maybe you're braver than you think and you just don't know it yet. [a thought, at least.] As long as you know in your heart what is and isn't real...I think you'll be able to get through it okay. You probably won't be by yourself either. I had Alex to help me.
So we've just gotta keep trusting each other, too.
Thank you. [he seems very relieved to hear this, as if there was ever a debate about this. he also seems to think that indicates he trusts her, so they're doing great.] And others will be here to help, too. You have other people you trust here now, don't you?
...yeah. It's weird, isn't it? It feels like it's something that shouldn't be happening if we're all on the same side. [...but. he trusts her, so he frowns lightly.]
It's possible Virid felt like he didn't have a choice when somebody asked him to do it. Or maybe he really didn't care. I couldn't really tell.
... Oh... I did not consider the fact that someone might... be forced into it as well.
I suppose there are a lot of reasons to be cautious before making judgments. Someone--even for something like that, someone could have a lot of reasons.
Right. We won't know until we start to ask people and learn a little more about this place. I've...never really been good at just looking for answers without doing something, but I want to get better. [give him strength to be patient.]
If there's really a reason, I'm sure we'll find it soon. [i say this because this is w1 and then everything changed.]
You will be. And you'll get better. [just a soft nod of assurance.
but she's probably right to leave him.]
You're not dumping problems on me. It's okay. I like that you trust me enough to talk to me. [there's a smile.] Come find me whenever you want. And I'll do the same.

I do have someone very precious to me. I... if her memory was to be used against me, I am not sure what I would do.
I would like to be able to say I would be as brave as you, and everything would be all right. But...

No matter how hard it gets... I will continue to trust you, Sora.
[She nods firmly to herself.]
That is something I believe I can do.

[A beat. Her face falls.]
Everyone has been so kind, it is hard to imagine that someone... [Did a murder.]

Anyway, she just nods quietly, looks at her hands.]
You're right. I want to get better at this too. I want... to be more helpful to everyone.
[She takes a deep breath.]
... I should let you get more rest and recover more, rather than dumping all of my problems on you. I will come check in on you again soon, all right?
