Somehow I'm not surprised Shinoa said something like that.

[ the face he makes indicates he's all too familiar with shinoa's antics by now. perhaps not as much as yuu, but he's certainly had enough exposure.

a sigh escapes him as he leads the way, glancing back at yuu now and then. how can he make his best friend understand the situation? he can already foresee yuu making a fuss and causing problems. if that happens, how will he be able to protect him? ]

You might not care, but that's the rules of this world. Yuu-chan, I've heard things about the centers. They'll experiment and use you like the humans back home had.
