I... was hoping it wouldn't come to that. [ Somber - but looking on the bright side might be a better idea. ] I don't think it's always more than a day. We'll just have to wait and see.

[ Naminé looks notably hesitant; she can't help a twinge of anxiety at the idea of being left alone again. Which is a silly thing to think, she recognizes, because if anything that's the way it ought to be, and she's more than capable of realizing the necessity of Naoto scouting ahead. She presses her lips together in an attempt to keep from frowning and nods. ]

Alright. I'll stay right where I am, then. But--... be careful? Please. I know I can't be the only one having this kind of trouble.
