He reaches out to put a hand on the bears (?) shoulder (????). He understands Foster's feelings, but he understands the others as well. Worse, now he remembers, he knows how important this is. It wasn't just important to the people of this world, it was important to the other carnival members as well. Especially those people who hadn't agreed to work at the carnival. In fact, if he thought about it, that description fit Taako and Foster to a tee. They hadn't asked for this, and yet now because of the carnival this was the position they found himself in.

He looks to Yuya, and Gongenzaka, and then to Carly. He knew this wasn't an issue the people of this world would understand. Pru and Damiens confusion and anger were warranted, even expected, but for even Carly to be so dismissive.

"You don't know what you're talking about." Of course, she did know about the earth spirit and how badly they all wanted to go home, but she didn't understand how truly afraid the identity born on this world was of that outcome. If Foster had never come here, had never known anything else, he wouldn't even be in this position. This was the carnival's fault too. "There's no need to be so cruel."

He is thankful to Gon and Yuya for offering their help, but he'd express those thoughts to them later. For now he speaks to Foster instead.

"I know you're about to do something stupid, so just save it. If she won't accept that kind of deal from you I'll do it instead."

Just don't actually do something that's going to get you killed.

"Please."
