[He shoots Ishimaru a grin, a little bit stronger than last time.]
I'll be counting on you, then.
[It's something he already finds himself looking forward to. Something to aim for, to hope for, when they get out of here.]
It's pretty reassuring to hear, honestly. I know I don't work as hard as I should sometimes, but... I've always believed that I could accomplish things so long as I worked hard enough. Other guys I went to school with always thought I was too serious about things, so meeting somebody that doesn't is a nice change of pace. [Hinata's expression becomes a little softer.] I think if you keep on like that, believing in it so strongly... you'll be able to accomplish anything you put your mind to.
[Ishimaru is just the kind of person they need in this situation, Hinata thinks, and he's grateful that he's here.
It's about what he expected, though, when the next door remains unlocked.]
It's okay, Ishimaru. It makes sense that the principal's office would be closed more than any of the others. [He points a thumb in the direction of the last door. Almost there, now.] I'll give this last one a try, and then we can head back out into the hall.
