[Ugh, that's a fair point. He nods, thinking it over as he explains his thought process.]
We're meant to be customers, but I haven't seen anyone from this place anywhere. [No shopkeepers, no cleaning staff, nothing.] If I understand the meaning of the phrase correctly, and your theory is correct, the station may be taking control of us in order to complete that task.
[Since it's not like trucks have hands for moida... but he sighs, because this is, of course, all totally guesswork. And Sora's right--even if it's a correct theory, what can they do about it?]
After last night, I suspect more of us might've begun searching for answers. [Because haha hoo boy being locked in and forced asleep was not fun.] We'll have to ask tomorrow, if we can.
[If it's not like. A surprise death match like Nuwa predicted and they aren't all busy trying to survive or something.]
It's possible. When Riku and I were in that office, there was a mug on this warmer thing sitting on the desk. Like someone had been there recently. I don't know if that means someone else really is here or if we're just supposed to think so.
[neither answer is great.]
Have you heard anything from anyone else yet? Kairi, Riku and I were going to try and get everyone together today to share information and stuff, but...that didn't happen. [hard to care as much at the moment when your best friend dies!]
[Well that's concerning. And it kind of points to the idea that their captors have been here all along, observing them--okay, no, now he's looping back around to the mass experiment theory. Not the time for that.
He shakes his head slightly, though.]
I spoke to Miss Nagiko earlier. She didn't say anything specific, only that she might have a some way to find a clue. [She didn't seem super confident about it, but he won't say that.] I haven't spoken much to anyone else.
[Or rather, most of the people he has spoken to are fucking dead or assholes, so.]
[now is not the time to loop back to that even if leo might be on to something. instead, there's a hum of understanding or acknowledgement from sora. ]
I think Kairi has something to help, too. [... ] If we are supposed to figure stuff out tomorrow, I know we should try to help everyone. But Kairi and I need to find out what happened to Riku. We need to know so we can bring him back.
[so. sorry everyone else. sora will be helpful to a point but he does have priorities.]
[Leo is absolutely rude enough to say "yeah I don't care about everyone else either", but he won't. It's not entirely true, anyway--he cares about Iris, and Hyth, and... honestly even the strangers, a little bit, insofar as it's likely their deaths will give them more answers overall.
But otherwise... well, look. Sometimes the pieces of the game fall a certain way. And Leo's always done what he wants, which isn't about to change now.]
No one will hold it against you. [He doesn't think anyone will try, but if they do, they'll have Leo to deal with.] Do what you need to do.
[leo...normally sora would encourage everyone to care about what's happening but. you know. there sure is something happening here that he can't exactly comprehend.]
Some people might. [he can definitely think of some people who might.] But I don't know if I care? ...thanks though. Really.

[Sora saw him beat up Sei for jumping on his head so like. Gestures. Sora is not the only feral person in this room right now.]

...follow our lead, but if you can help us look I would appreciate it. We have some ideas of what happened, but no way to prove it yet.
