[Hak grows more solemn, and Tsukasa does too--though he just lifts his chin.]
Of course we will. I don't have a single doubt.
[Though as opposed to his usual bravado, this is said quite simply. They'll get her out, because there isn't a universe where Tsukasa wouldn't do anything and everything for Saki's sake.]
We'll save everyone stuck in the depths of this maze and get them home where they belong.
[Oh, his favorite topic. Even more than himself. Finally.]
Saki? She is...
[... A sigh, a little wistful.]
Saki is the strongest, most amazing person I know. She has been dealt circumstances that nobody should have to go through, and yet! She still approaches life with a smile and her chin held high, ready to experience everything to the fullest.
[ in this way they are alike, willing and ready to praise the people in their shards in a moment's notice. the genuine affection in tsukasa's voice is enough to make hak smile, even slightly. ]
Sounds like a pretty incredible girl. [ almost like someone he knows! ] Is she the person you look up to the most?
[He blinks at that, tilting his head, brow furrowed a little as he processes it.]
It isn't... inaccurate, in its own way, and yet... I don't know. I'm her older brother! I ought to be the sort of person she can look up to, not the other way around.
[But. It's true, at least to him, that Saki has gone through much more than him, and is much stronger in so many ways.]

[HMPH.]
It doesn't have to be taken so literally!
no subject
Sorry she's stuck here too. [ though at least....sleeping? or whatever it is their most important people are doing. ] We'll get her out.
no subject
Of course we will. I don't have a single doubt.

[ but for once he appreciates that steadfast nature instead of finding it annoying. ]
Found an out yet?
[ he's mostly joking. ]
no subject
[He's human, of course, and has had plenty of doubts.
But with Saki on the line, there's just no room for it.]
And!! I haven't found an out at all!!! [Don't be so proud of it, Tsukasa.]
But that hardly matters! We can worry about that after we find your princess and Saki and everyone else.
no subject
I'd think that's what matters most.
[ tsukasa..................................................whatever, he's moving on. ]
What's your sister like?
no subject
Saki? She is...
[... A sigh, a little wistful.]

I really couldn't be prouder of her.

[ wow, that's some confusing verbiage there. ]
I used to be like that with Soo-won.
no subject
It surprises him that Hak chooses to bring this up.
He pauses for a moment, head tilting.]
I suppose that's true... And now?
no subject
that's a good question though. ]
I look up to the princess now.
no subject
She does sound like the sort of person who is easy to look up to, from what you've said.
When we've rescued them, I'm really looking forward to meeting her!
no subject
no subject
So that is something else to look forward to, once we make it to them.
[And those easy little joys are things Tsukasa will absolutely hold onto.]
And there is even less to worry about in regards to finding a way out when we have people like your princess on our side.
no subject
We have plenty of people here too ready to help. [ its heartwarming in its own way. ] This place might be shitty but it could be a lot worse.
[ anyway, ]
Did you eat yet?
no subject
[This was more important, after all.]
no subject
Take one before you go then. I can always make Soo-won get me something.
[ the perks of being in adjoining rooms with your best (?) friend. ]
no subject
Er, I made all of those for you, you know--
no subject
no subject
... Fine, if you insist...!
[He will reach out and take uno onigiri from the tupperware.]
Er... thank you. But please be certain to eat the rest. And tell me your thoughts later on!
[But he will leave Hak with his remaining onigiri.]
no subject
hak will take his own onigiri and start munching as tsukasa leaves. ]
Will do. Thanks.
[ it comes out garbled around a mouthful of rice but hey it's the sentiment that counts! ]
