[The hand on his shoulder is enough to make Hiroto jump. The image staring him down from the ice wall isn't nearly so dramatic as either of Nero's - it's a single boy. Could be Hiroto himself, he has the same green eyes and red hair....but this other boy is also somehow different. A little taller, maybe, a bit less pale, his hair is a little straighter....and there's that smirk he wears. There's something mean-spirited in it.]
R-Right. [He spares a glance at the other-Hiroto, who has a dark and threatening angry expression now.] You don't think they'll come out and attack if we ignore them, do you?

Hey, it's alright. Just try not to focus on what the walls are showing us, okay?
[Bold words for someone who's already cursed.]

[He'll just keep gently guiding Hiroto along.]
But we can totally take them if they try.

[He's pretty sure? Like maybe if the dead are zombies but. Not the case here.]

[Here kid, have a hair ruffle.]

[He shifts uncomfortably, the image in the ice scowls. Hiroto can feel it. And he....shrinks back, a little.]

... Here. Close your eyes and grab my hands.

Sorry....
no subject
Nah, you've got nothing to apologize for. Just keep focused on my voice for now.

Got anyone from home you can't wait to talk to again when all this is over?
no subject
...No one who'd want to talk to me.
no subject
[He squeezes Hiroto's hands a bit.]
C'mon, who were you going to talk about for a sec there?
no subject
Well, there's.... Midorikawa. He'd be so excited to hear I went to another planet. But he- doesn't remember me. A-And there's Endou-kun, but......
no subject
... Don't force yourself if it'd just upset you.
