How childish these 'monsters' sounded to be, Naoto wanted to think; it was as if he were reciting something straight out of an imaginative story. Even the creatures she were used to could never reach the real world... as far as she were aware. Those, however, couldn't have any relation to this-- at least not so suddenly, when there were no signs or warnings or any obvious threats beforehand.
And yet, his words sounded too genuine; it was easy to pick up on certain things about people, ones that hinted whether there was any truth or not behind words. It was something you needed to be able to do if you wanted to be a detective. That, or Leon believed his story enough to sound as much... He had been here for a long time, after all; was there something here horrific enough to affect his thinking? The limit for some was only so much, after all.
"I'll keep that in mind," Naoto said without falter, thinking on the various other bits of information he had dropped. "I assume this place, say... 'changes' between night and day, with the latter being safer." It would make the most sense, drawing back on the stories and the like. Especially if there were deaths involved-- then this just got much more serious. Trapping people against their will was bad enough, but putting their lives on stake was unforgivable.
"Then perhaps we can talk as we travel," Naoto suggested, waving a hand in the direction she thought Leon was heading in before. "I'm aware of the risks, but that's part of my job. As a detective, I must do what it takes to find all that I can and put this to a halt. So, as you can see, I cannot stay back and watch this continue."
