I wasn't doubting you. That was not a literal question! I know you're under a lot of stress right now, but you don't need to assume the worst and start shouting every time, you know.
[Yep, that's a scolding. It's accompanied by a stern look. He sympathizes with this kid, but he's not going to stand there and be screamed at, even if he's interested in staying on good terms because of the guy's powers!
Still. Hiyori doesn't like to stand around angry. And so after a moment, his eyes soften and he resumes smiling his usual smile.]
But Baku-kun's a hero who's worried about his home world, so I guess it can't be helped!
[Yep. That's what he's decided to call the guy for now. "Baku," as in "bakuhatsu," as in explosion. Since he doesn't know his name yet, that's what he's decided will suffice! A nickname that's actually pretty close to his real name, funnily enough. But Hiyori glosses right over that to address the rest of Bakugo's points.]
Six months is an awfully long time. I wish I could say I was surprised, but that's about how long Rinne-senpai and Leo-kun have been here. Maybe we can make it our goal to get you out within six months, so you don't have to suffer the same fate. After all, you've got a world to save ♪
[Despite the little singsong at the end, he isn't teasing. He's prepared to accept Bakugo's story about his world since he's heard other people say similar things about their worlds. Everyone's homes are different, but the existence of human conflict such as wars seems universal. It's sad, but it's also expected. Even his comparatively peaceful world isn't free of struggle.
He thinks about Gatekeeper and the oracles and all the signs that someone is out to sabotage SS. And then he thinks of Nagisa—how distracted he's been lately, and how different he's been acting ever since his stay in the basement of that shrine. Then he adds,]
And I've got family to save. Or, at the very least, I have family who needs me. So let's try to work together, alright? With your Quirk and my info-gathering, I'm sure we can accomplish something.
