[This is a rude elephant, man. Souji's quiet for a second, because as much as he tries not to think about all of the ways their situation could go south very quickly... Well. It's impossible to ignore it entirely.
He doesn't dwell for long though, ever, or he'll risk the whole emotional dam.]
...I understand. [TWO(???) VICTIMS JUST OUT HERE GOING 'I DIED AND I FEEL SO GUILTY ABOUT IT'.] Both of those things, that is. And it's so difficult, with what we have day-by-day to keep our attention.
[Feels a bit like spinning their wheels. While Souji is genuinely enjoying as many minutes as possible, as many experiences as possible - he does want to make progress, too. He wants to see the others get out with their loved ones.]
I wish that I could do more than say that we'll all do our best. I think the weight of having ended up in this situation at all will be a heavy one to bear, even if everything works out wonderfully, too.
