[Just a gentle suggestion as he tosses her another smile. That smile really isn't going anywhere any time soon. Yeah, they're not in the best situation right now, and yeah, they... sacrificed a lot to get here. There was no magic way of bringing everyone back, at the end of this game.
...On second thought, that smile does fade, especially when she asks if they can get off the island.]
Rei... You don't have to worry about my memories anymore. And... I can't leave this island. Not for a while yet.
[They're on the central island, so there's not really much to see. The Future Foundation's headquarters where he'd remembered a massive statue being in the simulator, the distant view of the other islands with no bridges to connect them, but a fleet of rowboats and speedboats that could get someone to them. "Environmental concerns," is what Sonia had said about the lack of bridges when they're looked up information about the island. But... it's good for just walking and talking.
And talk he does, explaining about the simulator. About the "Hope Restoration Program," about the Monokuma virus that had infected it. About how the world is still trying to recover from the depths of the Despair it had been cast into. He talks the class trials, about his sleeping friends, about how there's only a small chance they'll wake up again, but he's confident that they will so they can build their own future. Not needing Hope or Despair, but a belief that if they just do it, things will turn out okay.
His expression is solemn and serious as he finally glances toward her, eyes flicking over her face again.]
I'm sorry... I don't think... my world is that different from yours, now. A-And... [a wry, humorless smile quirks his lips.] I don't think you can say I'm all that different from you, either.
