[After seeing the video, Japan will make his way over to the ship where he guesses Ace is. He'll make sure he approaches in sight so not to startle him this time. He doesn't want to dodge flames...]

Ace...

[dontcallmegol]

{No worries Japan he won't be throwing flames at you this time. He turns toward the sound of his name and puts on a pretty convincing smile.}

Hey there Kiku.

[Convincing if he hadn't seen that feed just then, maybe. He stops a little in front of Ace, frowning.]

Surely Ace is not claiming so many lives as his own responsibility. ...I am not even doing that with my own citizens.

... {Casting his eyes off through the fog again.}

Not entirely. {Which wasn't really a lie. He blames the scientists too...}

[asideglance]

Partially, then. [He leans a bit closer, trying to peek at Ace's face.]

That is quite a weight for a human.

[dontcallmegol]

Not really. {He sighs. Maybe something about what Eridan was saying struck a chord.}

They're not dead yet. They still have a chance. I have a chance to help them. I just...

I hate the fact there's a good chance they'll have to suffer before I can get there. I wish there was more I could do for them now. There's no telling how long they'll starve.

...I wish to help with the subway. If such a thing were functioning, surely we would not have to worry so much...

If Ace wishes to help, he could promote that.

[dontcallmegol]

Are we sure that's wise?

As much as I hate to admit it I'd rather trust the scientists on this one than some random disembodied voice who's transmission we can barely make out...

action;

[asideglance]

I do not trust either of them. And I will not. [Rather stern on that, perhaps more than Ace is used to hearing from Japan.]

All I am considering is the situation at Spero and those that continue to arrive there.

{He is taken aback a little bit by the tone but he nods in any case, falling silent. He's so reluctant to do any of this but Japan has a point.}

We will go through this together, won't we? Please do not bear any burden yourself.
