It would be of great use to me. Due to my new position, I'm going to lose my ordinaryness and people won't say whatever around me. [He might as well be upfront. Considering they'll be working together and he still feels grateful. Komaeda has a lot to do and he keeps piling more work on. He hasn't had an actual break in some time but he's...dare he say it he's happy with this life.]

I can more accurately assist if I know the shifts in talk. ...and where she might strike. Out of those of us left from our world, myself and Detective Kirigiri know the most. Just tell her I referred you.

[Hinata knows some but in terms of experience and some small part of him is being fiercely protective, keeps him out of it.]

Other than that, I'm...I'm going to get used to this. There's already work but I'll tackle it all a little later. I want to savor this feeling a little longer.

Mm -- I wasn't present to watch the challenges, but I heard they, ah. Packed something of a punch, you could say.

[Yet another reason Kevin is glad he decided not to attempt to gain the position for himself. It's no surprise at all that the applicants were dug into so fiercely, and Kevin expected they would be the second he heard there'd be "challenges" for tests. The fact that they were public, however, might well have had him walking out. The last thing he needs is for any of his myriad pains to be broadcast to all and sundry, Empatheias is bad enough about that as it is.]

You should take what time you can. And me, I'll keep my ears open for you. You'll be happy to know that Miss Hibiki is very much improved. Since that's the case, I'm able to be out of the house more often again.

Ah, I knew she'd get better. [He smiles inside his own home because, she'd done it. With help sure, but who doesn't need that? This place has taught him a lot about things like that.]

Mm, but like I said I'll keep an eye on things as well. And...if Peromei says anything about the past I could pass that on as well. While I have ideas about it, I'm sure it would benefit everyone to know the solid facts.

[There's a pause as he turns his attention back to the challenges. He had had to keep things balanced. Sometimes sinking into despair or blazing with brilliant hopes. By the end of it he'd been so tired...]

...as for the challenges, yes! They packed a punch is one way of putting it.

Were they as awful as the ones from the maze?

[It does not escape Kevin that this sort of topic is a touchy one, and even if people were able to witness what Komaeda went through anyway, that doesn't mean he wants to talk about them. Because of that, to inject a little light silliness into the conversation, he adds:]

Back then, my boss and I had to eat our way through a room full of awful cupcakes in order to find which one held the key to the door out. One of the worst ones tasted like asparagus. Ah, it was terrible, terrible.
