( encased in glass to preserve the body is a familiar concept to komaeda that he can't help but stare even more — what if she's only in a deep sleep? though, the chances of that happening is slim with nothing plugged to the case. the serious expression on his face disappears as he looks back over in noah's direction because of the hesitation in his voice upon speaking. the way he sounds so against it, so bothered, it's little things like this that makes komaeda read him the way that he does. he wouldn't say noah wears his heart on his sleeve, but he makes it well-known of what he likes and dislikes, and this murder(?), death(?), body for show 'n tell isn't up to par with what he'd find in a school. )

What if this was her decision, and this is the hope that she wants to show us! ( he sounds.. thrilled, it's disgusting, but he isn't put off as his eyes light up in excitement. ) We'd let her down if we didn't go along with this — she too could have been a mere stepping stone, sacrificing herself so that we'd work hard to get out of here.

( his eyes glance at the floor now, staring at the plain tile as he laughs, and then he shoots his arms up in a y-shape, and then they drop to his side. did he use too much energy, or does he seem like a complete freak, probably both as he continues to speak, mostly to himself than to noah. )

This death is a sign of better things to come, maybe we really are lucky.. that this happened to us! Ahaha! What do you think, Ebalon-kun? Maybe more bodies will drop, and if that happens.. those who are left will be our shining hope — even you.

( quickly, he turns his head towards the youth. )

You can be hope, and I'd even die for such an ideal... because I know with your determination..
