. . . maybe not just to get items. Completing tasks might also have something to do with getting us home.

[which comes from him talking to some people about the game mechanics back at the castle, though he has no idea how similar things will really be]

[shortforever]

That could be too, yeah. We play their games, we get to go home.

We just gotta avoid the traps that the demon group fell into. There's no telling how truthful our 'camp counselors' actually are.

[. . .]

I want to trust them.

[he wants to so badly, but. he might have three-sisters biases]

I know it's hard to, and I don't blame anyone for being suspicious, but. . I want to.

[shortforever]

This isn't like with the girls and Blue, Akira.

[survivaltricks]

You don't know that.

[but he doesn't know that it is, either]

[shortforever]

Neither do you.

[. . .]

You're right. I don't.

[and he hates not knowing]

[shortforever]

...the group with the demons, they said the demons lied to them. They thought the demons were telling them how to get out, but they were actually trapping them in.

We lucked out. The girls really did want to help us. Not everyone was as lucky as we were.

[Trust issues: he has them.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . ah. no wonder people here have trust issues. . . tch]

If they turn on us. . . [he trails off] If it turns out they're lying to us, then we'll destroy them.

Completely and utterly. From the inside out.

[shortforever]

Good. And if it turns out they're lying, don't hesitate. I've got your back, but we could both get wiped out at once if it turns out bad.

[survivaltricks]

I won't hesitate.

[he just. . . hopes it doesn't come to that]
