It wouldn't make any sense if they do... but we can't say for sure unless it happens...

You think any of this makes sense?

[ dry. ]

No.

But if they really want us to believe this will save our hostages, I feel like making someone kill again will make that go out the window.

I don't know how much people believe in that stuff in the first place.

I know someone asked to be brought a belonging of their hostage, in order for it to be proven...

[ he sighs. ]

But it's difficult. I fully believe that they could have brought hostages here. They brought us here, after all. It's just whether or not the deal is legitimate that's harder.

... Yeah. I think the hostages are here, too. But I'm pretty sure there's something about that contract that's going to make it so we lose no matter what.

So, we just have to figure out a loophole.

[ somehow. easier said than done. ]

I tried to find out if the hostages are conscious or not. I was told that the staff didn't know, and they would make an attempt to find out. [ a pause ] I suppose if Ookurikara was, he'd be throwing a fit.

That your hostage?

[ from context. also francia that's so funny. ]

I think if they've kept Aerith awake, they'd regret it pretty quick, too.

[ with a steel chair. ]

When I asked, Cetus was like, "Does it matter if they are or not?" and I kept having to insist that yes.

Some of our hostages like to hit things.

It matters if they can see everything that's happened to us, too.

[ he. would rather. aerith be unconscious actually ]

... yeah.

My person-- I know him from home, but he was also at the village and camp. I was really hoping he'd have a break.

He's another sword, then?

He's one of my best friends!

He wouldn't agree with that.

... Because he's like that...?

[ or because tsuru just is like that. ]

"I'm not here to make friends."

[ looks away because mood but; ]

... Guess you don't let him have a choice?

Of course not. Why would I?

... Great question.

[ it is tsuru. he does not know why he expected anything else ]

[ he just nods! thank you for understanding. ]

Who is Aerith?

... A... friend. She'd describe herself as a florist, probably. [ it's said fondly, though. secretly. ]

Ah. She must be a tough florist then!

Yeah, she is. She... [ he looks away ] She doesn't deserve to be caught here. Not after everything.

When she gets saved, you will have to treat her to something nice after.

We're not exactly in a position to treat ourselves like that back home...

[ they're hitchhiking the continent help ]

Then nice in comparison to your current circumstances.
