You have time. Even after this game is over, I'll be returning both of you to the fragment I brought you here from. You both work at the Foundation, so it won't be difficult to stay in contact.
Assuming I am alive and don't face unexpected repercussions for everything involved in this game? Back to my shop. I still have to wait for Yuuko-san's return, and it is my home.
You don't need to sound so sullen about it. It's not as if it would be goodbye forever. Given the state of your world, I suspect someone from it would end up needing my services eventually.

I will warn you that I can be a difficult friend, though I suppose I don't have much room to talk.

[But he's not rude, so he won't call Sherlock out too much.]
It would be better if I could just choose the dreams to show you, when we end up sharing. I'm a dream seer, I should be able to do that.

[Especially with how flustered he got when talking to Erhard earlier]
no subject
[He absolutely knows about Erhard. But he's going to make Ruler say it.]
no subject
What makes you say that?

God damn it...

I haven't said anything to anyone, so your secret is safe from all but the observant.
no subject
[But yet, being told he was important to someone...]

Or least that's how I should be - a Detective of pure logic and reason, not swayed by emotional matters.
[There's a flicker of something across his face, too quick to catch]
Yet, here I am - finding my heart no longer entirely under my control.
no subject
There's nothing wrong with that, you know. Haven't you all been telling me to embrace my emotions this whole time?
no subject
[No, it's not, but he sets his cup down]
I'm still trying to figure out what he is to me, exactly.

And where would you go after this? Assuming the most optimal possible end.

[Shades of Greyfriar's Bobby, he thought to himself]

[A wry smile appears on his lips]
no subject
[A pause, and then an innocent smile.]
Is she cute?
no subject
[There is a slight glance over in his direction, a sly smile appearing]
