[She hesitates at the repetition, surprised, before simply nodding. No need to worry about her when everyone else is sad, too. She can, at least, still walk on her own two feet.
As to his second question:]
No. Not really, anyway. I know the Realm isn't a person or anything, but... they really didn't explain much when I asked my leader. Nothing more than what they said a week ago, anyway.
Yes. I was told that the Realm doesn't "speak". It doesn't show pictures, either. Our masked benefactors can't really speak to it, or send it messages.
All it does is share its feelings with them. And deciphering those feelings the best they can is all they can do. Its...a one-sided thing.
[He can agree on that. His hand draws back to rest on his knee - his eye glances to the broadsword near her.]
We all want to know. Believe me. But...we'll see what those masked people say tomorrow, Hikaru. For now...you should get some rest. The morning is wiser than the evening.
[It sure is a sword! Definitely looks like it's seen some recent use, though it's mostly just scuffed up and dirty. It's taking a nap on the floor now, shhh.]
I can't. Not just yet. Knowing that I just fell asleep while something was happening nearby...
[She shakes her head, holding the plush tighter to her chest.] I don't think I'd be able to sleep right now, anyway, Hansa-san.

Did they tell you, Hansa-san?

Even if it's one-sided... if it's trying to communicate somehow, and the leaders can feel that... then that's still a way to talk.
If it's trying to tell us all that something's gone wrong, or if the Realm itself is angry at something... I still wanna know. I think everybody does.
[Her fists tighten against her lap.] All I know right now is that Hajime-chan didn't deserve this.
