"What's that got to do with anything?" Mika asks, with perhaps a trace of annoyance in his tone. He's getting impatient; not necessarily with Armin specifically, but with being stuck here in general. He'd been perfectly willing before to endure and bide his time until he had an opportunity to reach Yu again, but then he'd always had a rough idea of where Yu was and how to get there. Here, he doesn't even know where to begin looking.

It doesn't help any either that nothing in this place seems to make any logical sense. If it were a videogame, it should be done by now, or at least there should be something to hint at what to do next, right? That lack only frustrates Mika further, joining forces with the nagging worry in the back of his mind to fray at his patience.
