[as far as souji is concerned, CERES is fair game anyway. there isn't a person in this world or any other one that could actually convince him that they don't deserve whatever they have coming. of course, he also really, really doesn't buy their shtick at all. even if there's probably some validity in there somewhere, there's so much to not believe or be wary of.]

Mm, there really wasn't all that much to pry into to begin with. But if your curiosity is satisfied... well, I'd rather not just stand around here all evening. [he's sure sousei doesn't want to drag this encounter out either. for souji, it's trying to avoid an awkward and uncomfortable topic as much as he can, and for sousei it's like an annoyance to not get answers.

but souji doesn't really care about all that. it's not even as if he has any sort of personal dislike for sousei either, so maybe in a more casual encounter, or in a fight they could work side-by-side. but this time and place with this topic? it's one he'd rather keep away from and put behind him entirely, if that's at all possible.]
