Mm, we can't afford to be too careful. Especially since someone here does have our names.
[He's registered as a guest whether he likes it or not (and the answer most certainly is "not.") But there's no sense in fretting about what's already happened and can't be taken back. They ought to be on-guard so nothing worse does.
But even if they keep up their guards, someone could just steal them away in their sleep. It's happened once; it could surely happen again. What should they be doing in the meantime, to protect against that?
It's very worrisome. No wonder Jun is having trouble sleeping.
Regardless of Jun's embarrassed denials, though (which only earn a blithe smile from Hiyori), Hiyori does consider Jun "his." He's not an object or a piece of property like Hiyori sometimes jokes about, but Jun is his partner and his junior. He'll do anything he can to protect him. Anything at all to help him...
Still, the question remains: what can they do in this situation?
The watches aren't removable, so Jun's idea wouldn't work, and his own idea was also pretty flawed. His shoulders sag when Jun points that out.]
I wouldn't assume the entire staff is in on it. It's hard to believe every person who works here knows we've been kidnapped and is fine with it.
[All the same, he looks deflated. If they are in on this, then how big is the conspiracy, exactly?
It's a lot bigger than just Gatekeeper. Bigger, even, than whatever Nagisa imagined. It means they're up against truly insurmountable odds.
Yet even still, he refuses to give up. Otherwise, what would he have left? Forcing some cheer back into his voice, he continues to share his thoughts.]
But whichever one it is, we might be able to get some information out of them. If they're dupes, they might tell us the watch's model without thinking twice about it. And if they are in on things, then they might have even more useful information. Perhaps we can bribe them to share a thing or two. I can't imagine they're that well-paid.
[Where they'll get the collateral to bribe people with is a separate issue.]
