Souji's also internally looking away fastly, but externally he just smiles.]
It would certainly be nice to see them again... Even though it's just been a bit over a half-year, time does seem to go by so slowly sometimes, doesn't it?
That's right - it was a straight trip from where I was before to the camp to here, more or less... Strange how it feels like a great deal of time and yet no time at all, yes?
Yeah... Things go quickly when you've got a lot to deal with, but stress like that makes it feel long, too. If I can ask - how did yours go? Which one were you from?
Ah... No one else here seems to be from the place I was from. It was a castle, and we were brought there to fight a war on behalf of Dragon and Tiger. Some age-old dispute...
[Which was like FRUSTRATING AND INFURIATING IN MANY WAYS but. Comparing them to people like Edgelord Nightman Sasukeson, they seem like saints.]
...We were able to make it out of there with our lives, but in order to do so, we had to kill all but nine people.
[SWEET RUPERT... What a tender-hearted guy. Souji's head dips a little.]
It was difficult at the time... [He still remembers those last few days quite clearly.] --But yes, it was. I had the honor of being the last person that we needed in order to achieve our 'happy end'.

...I've heard about other groups that had quotas like that. I'm really sorry. It sounds awful. Is that why you...?

[that sounds sincere, even if he looks saddened as he says it.]
But I'm still sorry you had to go through it.

--Thank you, Rupert-kun. You're a very kind person. I'm only glad that I was able to do something for them, in the end.

I should likely get started on making that meal, now that we've got everything back in place. Would you care to help?

Thank you, Rupert-kun.
