Suzaku wished Nunnally’s smile could offer him more reassurance, but he knew her well enough to know that even if she was suffering, she would smile to try and make him worry. Not that he was any better. He would do the same thing with Euphie. That thought triggered something in his mind, urging him to draw a conclusion, but his head was still ringing. He’d have to come back and revisit that thought later.

“Mm.” He turned around to study the door. Outside he couldn’t hear anything or feel the ground vibrating in any way. For now, this area was still safe but he wondered how long that would last. “They can affect us through…” He didn’t finish his words. While he was in this place, he needed to suspend some of his hold on reality. The fact that he suddenly and inexplicably found himself here was proof that anything could happen.

“It’s hard to believe a place like this exists.” He shook his head for a moment, but quickly cast his doubts away. He turned around and took another step between the two, but he didn’t move directly over to them. Another look was given towards the door. If something had happened and some of the monsters were on the prowl, he wanted to be between the creature and the two of them. There wasn’t much information he could offer to be useful, but he could protect them. No, he would protect them from any dangers that might be lurking.
