[He just tilts his head, one step short of rolling his eyes in exasperation at the other boy. He... honestly doesn't know how to answer that. He's relieved, on one hand, to know that one of his classmates is here where he can try to keep them safe. Away from Monokuma, away from the tragedy of the island.

But also... Komaeda is unpredictable, and even with all his reassurances, trust once broken is not so easily fixed.]

Yeah... who knows, maybe one will show up here. People seem to just appear without any pattern these days.

[He pushes himself to his feet, though, shoving his hands in his pockets.]

Get some rest, Komaeda. I'm sure Tsumiki or Valentine will be back soon. I want you to talk to them then and tell me what they say. And... Komaeda.

[He looks at him again, more seriously this time.]

It's fine if you don't want to always tell me the truth, but... at least be honest with them. They'll try to help you.
