A very wise friend once told me that there is always a way. As long as you work together and keep hope alive, you can do impossible things.
[he puts a hand on Ishimaru's shoulder. he's not used to kids being closer to his size - but, that is what everyone here is to him. and you never reach an age where you don't need reassurance when times are tough.]
You haven't been alone here since the start, yes? And you won't be. I can't promise that it will be easy. But, I can promise that we will be free.
[A small smile grows on his face, with the breath of a laugh, as he looks towards Sportacus. It's getting harder to worry in the face of him and his words of wisdom.]
You are right. Ever since I woke up in this school, I have not been alone. I may not get along with everyone, but I have also made some dear friends. And we truly are all in this together, no matter what.
[He pauses before he goes on.]
I am not sure what "free" means, in this place. In these circumstances. ...And yet, I feel that... I look forward to reaching whatever freedom awaits, at the end of this road. [Even if it could be a kind that feels somewhat scary.]
[His smile grows a little, as he thinks he has a good idea who this wise little lady is!
Then he grows more thoughtful and rubs at his chin.]
I... I see. It certainly seems that this school is not... whatever it was intended to be. [It certainly isn't what he imagined the afterlife would be like.] Now it is a matter of determining what it is that needs to be helped, and how we can do it. Then we can truly work towards a better future!
Working towards a better future is the most important thing anyone can do, I think.
Now! Onto other things. [claps] I have been trying to figure things out, but there's one thing I just can't find an answer for. [if there even is one] Does anyone know who is actually in charge of this school? I have only met the vice principal, but she is, ah... very clearly not in charge of anything.
[she reminds him of the mayor, but with much less discernible intentions. so he's basically on the lookout for the yogen miss busybody.]
Ah, I... I do wish that I had a satisfactory answer for you! Trust me, that is a question that I have long wondered myself, but there has been no concrete answer to mystery. [He really wishes he can talk to the manager.]
There is supposedly a principal who has long been missing. The vice president is the highest authority were have been able to reach... but I agree with you, that she certainly does not seem to be the being beyond this. I apologize that I am unable to be more helpful to you, Sensei!
[quickly] No, no, that's very helpful! Knowing that we don't know anything is the first step to knowing something!
We have both been given a little bit of power by this place. [places his fists on his hips] We should make use of it before they realize that was a very bad decision!
Yes... Of course. You are right, Sensei! [Thank goodness he has someone like this guy to raise his spirits! Ishimaru balls up his fist with determination.]
We have to use our power wisely! And I, I am sure that we can make significant progress in turning the tides here. We- we will solve this place's mystery and secure our freedom. For all of us, including those who have gone missing... We cannot give up!
Ah... Yes, of course! You are right. You are still very new to this school, Sensei, so I apologize for putting so much on you so soon. I suppose that... I am the senior here of the two of us!
[It's a sad reminder. With a dependable adult with such strong ideals around, Ishimaru was ready to put everything on him and count on him to save the day. But things aren't so simple here... Ishimaru is the one who's been here longer and is more equipped to take on this place.]
That said, I am not sure about what action to take next beyond the basics. We must continue investigating and finding out as much as we can about this place. Perhaps we can see if there's any information about this school's principal? I do not recall anyone discussing that person in quite some time, and it could indeed be an important link towards the top of this operation!
[nods] I have been by that room... It's very cold, isn't it? You can feel it through the door... Colder than anyone could live in. Any human, at least. [and also him probably iceland isn't that cold]
...Of course. By sharing burdens... we can work hard and progress together!
[He nods along, frowning as thinks about the office.]
That is true. The office does appear to be too cold for anyone to properly enter it, so that place has been off-limits to us. Unless something can be done for that, we would have to seek out clues about the principal elsewhere.

Something about this place is... wrong. Like it is meant to be a certain way, but can't be. Helping it will make whatever happens after much easier.

I'm still playing catch-up with this place, but you have been here much longer than me. If anyone can find the next direction we should take, you can!
