I think he never figured out I had a role. [A half-smile.] But he confirmed a few of my other suspicions.
...we'd agreed that we'd work together from now on. But guess that's not happening now. [Four for four of people Junpei decides to trust and openly admit he trusts dying almost immediately after the fact.]
Not particularly - they will try to find the demon, as they should.
I only meant more in the sense... while it is a loss to not have him here, it is a gain for an ally to go to what may be seen as unknown territory as a scout.
You aren't wrong in that approach. [He nods along because it all makes sense to him.] We just have to hope he has a way to get his messages to us when he gets to the island.
And we're back to square one all over again. [It's exhausting to go in this many circles.] I've been trying to solve it, too, but it could be one of those problems that's too big for us to solve alone.
With all of the information we've been getting from the locked rooms already, I'd be more surprised if there weren't more answers there. But the rooms are getting worse. How do you get people to volunteer and keep them in one piece?

... oh, I don't know. If we were looking to find a way to the ruins, wouldn't it be good to be in contact with someone who's there?
[there's a beat of silence]
I intend to hunt whatever demon harmed him so.... but I think there is still an opportunity to have our allies temporarily divided.

You think people are going to be torn on what to do tomorrow?

How many people do you think know about that yet?
no subject
Though even knowing about it - I do not know how to solve the dilemma it poses to us.

I presume so... Others might have additional insight, I suppose.
Perhaps there are more answers within the locked rooms as well?

Bring people who don't mind coming back in pieces?
I can go again, if you'd like to send a scout.

Mm - I don't mind. What good is a sword if not used in dangerous situations?
I have good luck too, after all.

If there is a way I could transfer my luck to you - I would.
