[She's very wise that way and she seems to know precisely how to handle him. He's grown up a little since Tadashi's first death and since becoming a superhero. Normally he'd charge right in (and sometimes, of course, he still does just by nature of being an overenthusiastic and sometimes arrogant teenage boy) but he's stopping and thinking now. He refuses to go back in without finishing his new gear and without means to protect themselves. He's still a little raw from losing Tadashi twice and still a little lost on how to really proceed...but he's trying.]

I think what bothers me is that they're letting us willingly leave now. I want to go out there before they have time to hide any incriminating evidence we could use against them. [It's nervous energy, the need to constantly gogogo and seek answers.

But he can respect that. And for a moment, he watches her carefully before bowing his head a bit and shrugging almost awkwardly. Now's not the time to close back off, but it's still complicated in places.] I've already done a lot of things that've almost gotten me killed. A lot of things happened right after Tadashi died and I...[He trails off. It's obvious that Tadashi doesn't know any of these things and that he doesn't want to really explain right now. He told Ruby a few weeks ago. That was enough for now.] I know. Trust me, I know.

But I do have to do this. [It's then he looks at her.] I have to do this for the people who can't. The people who deserve to know but can't right now...I can do this. You just have to trust me. And I'll tell you if we find out anything out there this time, but it wouldn't make sense for you to go now if you're not okay. What's the point of making it worse?

[Hiro Hypocritical Hamada, ladies and gentlemen.] It's my job, Rei.
