Haruki silently mulled over the questions Almond brought up regarding the shadows and the cores. Those questions also led her to think on the mysterious man. Where did he come from? How did he know who they were and that they needed help? What did he know about the situation and these shadows? Were they going to be able to talk to him again? He could probably fill in a lot of the blanks when they get the chance. She smiled a bit at his mention of the detective novel. That smile disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. 

She listened to his response to her lecture, and she answered with an understanding tone, "Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. I really don't like that they're here, killing as they please," She then continued patiently, "But...as much as I would love to rush out here and help right now, we have to remember that we do not have game mechanics or anime plot points to protect us," 
She then pulled out her phone and she said to him as she went to her clock app , "I can set an alarm for say...5 in the morning. So we can get going as soon as possible," She waited for his answer before setting her alarm.

She smiled at his comment about choosing a starter pokemon, and she chuckled "For some reason, this choice was never hard for me," When he asked her about the length of time, she shrugged and answered "I have a feeling we'll be here for as long as those guys are threatening this world. Whether that's a long time or short time, I'm not sure,"
She listened to his reasoning, agreeing with the plan about Squirtle and Bulbasaur. After he mentioned the fire type, she suggested, "Why don't we sleep on it? Decide in the morning. For now, we should get some rest, especially considering what we've been through today," Spotting a nearby couch, she lied down on it and stared at the ceiling, hoping her family was okay.
