[Oh, that’s telling - the fact that she doesn’t have any evidence to give him is the same. Hanako doesn’t have concrete proof about this place, not yet, but just accepting what they’ve been told at face value…]

One where we have more than just the two options given to us. It’s always like that - sacrifice one thing for another. There are already things here that have slipped through the gaps, things that our benevolent guide didn’t realize either. [He’d picked up on that from his talk with the Ferryman and the chatter he’d heard around. Something wasn’t entirely right. Sure, Yashiro came from a different point than he had, but… not all was correct with the process of their journey.]

I may be wrong. I won’t pretend to deny that, but… could you ask her to give up her family? Those she cares for? The remainders of home? All for a potential chance to see where else we are going to be deposited at? [His tone is even. Hanako is wanting to genuinely think through this, instead of his otherwise goading nature.] There’s too little about this place that isn’t being given to us. Too many questions they won’t answer. While that’s the nature of an apparition, I can’t just accept their help at face value either. [Hanako hated it, deep down, that the same rules he had adhered to in his own death were being thrown in his face. More for Yashiro’s sake than his own. He didn’t have much more to lose. Aside from her.] If, by some chance, Yashiro does change her mind, then I’ll go with. [To make sure she remains safe.]
