[He sets the spoon down. There's no getting around it. Komaeda stares out the window, watching the people walking by. It's easier than meeting her eyes.]

The effects are deeply rooted. If you aren't prepared in any way, you'll have a problem. If you have a lack of love or a need for it, you'll have a struggle. It feels like slipping beneath the ocean waves.

As much as you dislike the idea...I found my saving grace was someone else tied to my mind. We watched out for changes in each other. But I imagine, just being united together could help.

[ Ah. Maybe it was a mistake, asking. But at the same time, this information is vital; in fact, it's rather important, considering her background. How she's yearned for the feeling because she didn't want to be alone anymore. Friends. Family.

Then there's--

She shakes her head at the thought as she tugs at an arm, fingers digging into the fabric of her sleeve. ]

I can't have someone tied to my mind like that.

[ There's disgust in her voice, but there's also something underlying in it that shows up as frost under the chair she's sitting. Fear, rejection.

The near quiet sounds of a soft, cold wind blowing. ]

... Sorry. [ She apologizes, but only because of the harshness that sat in her tone. ] I just don't like people in my head. I don't like to admit it, but it scares me.

[He says nothing at first. When he looks back at her his face is unreadable. Not even the air gives away what he's feeling. It takes a moment to unclench his jaw.]

You might have to. If you want to stay free.

Whether that has to be or not is yet to be determined. But I would consider the possibility. He will be far worse than he was when we saw him. Likely his attempts to sway us will be stronger.

[He picks up his spoon, flipping it between his fingers in a careless manner.] Plans are being made. I can't discuss them right now. But we will have help against him. If you think you can't face a corrupted Elios. Stay at the safe haven when it is announced.

[ Quiet at first, Inaba finds herself trying to conceal her emotions, sucking a breath as she manages to shake herself out of it. Nevertheless she interlaces her fingers together, squeezing on them tightly. ]

I won't allow it to happen to me. [ She doesn't even dare to hide the frustration that's slowly boiling in her voice. It's clear by now that she has problems here, even if they're ones she isn't voicing. ] It's fine if you can't talk about it right now, but it's definitely a good thing that plans are being made to stop them. I don't know if I'd be able to face him, but... I can at least assist those who can't.
