Everyone---[Oh no. Not this public speaking thing again. Shu's nervous. He hopes he doesn't make a fool out of himself in front of all these people.] I'd like to know something.

I thought that maybe someone here might know the answer. Is it, normal to meet someone from your own world but....they don't have the same memories as you?

Inori.

Inori remembers something different. She says I protected the school with Ayase, but it doesn't make sense. I don't think she's lying either, so. She wouldn't do something ...like that.

[At least he thinks so. Segai's words manage to bestow a sense of insecurity on him.

Beware of those who tell you to believe in yourself, Shu. Inori might very well wish to use you and removing anyone who might take away that control through this manipulation.

Is it really alright to believe in her and the Funeral Parlor? He doubts them for a minute.]

[Pause.]

For those of you who just arrived, I guess.

Please, be careful. I don't want to see any of you get hurt here. There's a hospital in the Sigyn district and... [Wait, he's in no position to be telling them what to do. Stop right there, Shu.]

That's about it.

[What on earth did he just say to everyone?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You're right, I guess.

[Wow amakusa... way to be.]

Most people do that, though. Not just men, I think.

Hm... when you put it that way, yeah! You're right.

So what are yours?

Why do you think I'd tell you after saying it's a secret?

Seriously.

Now you're catching on.

Well, no.

A secret isn't supposed to be said, right?

That much makes sense.

But isn't it boring keeping it completely to yourself?

If no one else knows about it, it's almost as if you don't have a secret at all.

They'd eventually tell someone else.

If more people knew then it couldn't be a secret, I guess.

That's why you only tell people you can trust.

There aren't many I can trust here.

I mean there are a lot of people I know, but can I really trust them?

It's difficult when you think of it that way.

Trusting someone is always a gamble.

So I guess it comes down to... how luck are you feelin', punk?

A gamble?

You mean it's just a matter of luck?

...

[Sigh.]

I don't feel very lucky at all. It might be better for you since gambling is more your thing.

Alright, then leave it to me. I'll decide who you should trust for you.

[ ... ]

First, trust me!

Isn't that cheating somehow?

Trust seems more complicated than a gamble.

It always involves a leap of faith.

All that changes is how big of a leap.

What happens if you fall after the leap?

You get back up and try again.

Or you plummet to your death.

Plummeting to your death doesn't sound ideal.

Would ignoring it work?

Ignoring it when you're falling?

Hm... I'm not really into that sort of metaphysical stuff, but maybe it'd help?

You'd fall either way, but the same goes for me.

I wouldn't really know much about that.

Maybe we should try it some time.

You can go by yourself if you'd like.

That's no fun.

Then ask Ange to do it.

That's pretty cold of you...

It makes sense doesn't it? If you're lonely take someone else with you.
