If you can't help the people right in front of you, then how can you expect to help everyone else? That was one of the lessons Lloyd had had to learn since leaving Iselia. It didn't matter to him that he didn't know where this place was, or even Kyousuke's name. That lesson still applied here just as it would with anywhere else.
"Good," Lloyd murmured with a hint of relief. "Then at least there's two of us who can do something. I don't know about you, but I'm not going to just sit here while people are suffering." Cold fear tried to squeeze at his chest at what the nature of that suffering was. He'd seen people who'd been turned into mosters, and he hadn't been able to do anything. And if people here became monsters and attacked someone...
He swallowed. No. I'm not going to let that happen. He wouldn't let anyone become another Marble or Clara, not if he could help it. He wouldn't let anyone suffer like his mom had.
"Okay, first we have to find out if the doctors are doing anything. Even if we're prisoners, they can't want us to become monsters, right?" He knew that was hope speaking, knew that there were people who not only would let people become something like that, they might even help the process, but Lloyd didn't see any sign of an Exsphere on this boy, or on anyone else he'd seen so far, and he couldn't think of anywhere else besides Human Ranches, where Exspheres were cultivated, where anyone would want someone to turn into a monster. So until he had no other choice, he wanted to hope for the best in this case. "We can ask the nurses, and if they won't tell us, then we'll have to find the head doctor somehow. If that means sneaking out and looking for him at night, then that's exactly what I'll do."
Hope didn't keep him from being determined to do something about this himself.
"I'll just have to be careful until I find something I can defend myself with."
