And this seems like the better option to me, so we'll call us even. [A nod to Escha.] We can't get out of here if we don't trust each other. Think about it that way. That includes trusting each other to talk about whatever's happening.
[But he tilts his head back to grin up at Escha a bit.]
I think you help a lot more than you think you do. So stop underestimating yourself. [One of them overestimates and one underestimates and does that mean Junpei just estimates? He's estimating that he won't fucking die so we'll find out.]
