Mmm... I hope so. He was right next to me before I woke up here...
I hope whoever wrote those messages for us finds a way to talk to us, Rufus-san. A lot of us are gonna have a ton of questions for them, you know?
I know some people are saying they're just kidnappers, but... this is a whole lot of work for kidnappers to do, isn't it? Like... kidnappers are supposed to be mean and not take very good care of you, right?
If someone is abducted for a reason other than ransom, they should be treated well enough so as not to diminish their value. While not always the rule, this is true for certain cases.
People are valuable to each other, but not like that!! That's wrong!
[Jaw tightening, she nimbly weaves her way down a few more branches before simply dropping to the ground, letting her weight roll to catch the blow. When she stands, it's at such a short height that she doesn't even come up to Rufus' shoulder.]
I'm not gonna accept that's what's happening here, Rufus-san. Not until I know more about what's going on. Even if they've taken us from our homes for something like... like money, or power... I want to hear that from their own mouths before I decide for myself.
[She's not intimidated whatsoever. Hello, mister giraffe.]
I know. That's what I wanna believe is true - that whoever brought us had a reason. But like I said, I know there's some people are saying they're just kidnappers... and no matter what I believe, just assuming the truth is only going to hurt if I can't figure it out for myself.

Of course, there's the possibility that more are being housed in a different location . . . like the castle.
[He doesn't think it's likely, but he can concede that it isn't a bad idea to wonder.]

That just makes people sound like they're things... People aren't things.

Isn't that a leap? The message claimed that it wasn't a kidnapping.
