It's a little weird, right?

[ Yeah, it's... vague. But considering they're on the topic of "weird things", it's probably just that. Yuuto has his fair share of weird experiences, too. ]

Just a little. These guys should reconsider their methods, huh?

[mingling]

There has to be some sort of compromise

They must think they know better than us, and maybe they do, but
It's still nice to make a choice of your own

[maskerading]

A compromise? They're already very accommodating the moment you show up. [ It's almost weird how much they're willing to give. ] I don't know how much more we could ask of them.

[mingling]

I just mean, if I had known first that I would come here

[But he supposes he's being entitled about this.]

I'm sure you're right. They're providing a lot for us.

[maskerading]

I think what they're doing wrong is assuming we all wanted to be here, so I get the feeling they won't do much about that portal until they start realizing we're all being put in a spot we never asked for.

Until then, this is their idea of saving us.

[Although Natsume had been able to absorb that much—and although he's open to the idea that this is where he should be, despite having loved the home he just left—he's worried, he worries. He worries about how his foster parents will worry about him; that is the worst thing he could do to them. He just wants to have been able to leave a note, at least. (He didn't stop to ask about what happens to his world now that he's out of it.)

Anyway, better go with placidity, pacification.]

Yes, it's kind of them to try that

[maskerading]

Yeah. Their intentions aren't bad, so I'll give them that much.

[ Or so he says on the outside; truthfully, Yuuto isn't completely certain he trusts the face they put on. Do they truly mean what they say, or is there something more underneath? ]
