"Maybe we could go check out the kend-" Her lilting voice immediately halted, as if struck by a sudden thought out of the blue. "U-uh, u-um, if Ryo-kun thinks left is the way to go, then let's go that way."

She seemed a bit hesitant, as if confused about something. A small shiver left her, the temperature of the air dropping further and further. It was a heavy, oppressive weight, one that made it hard to breathe, especially with the cold. Ai shook her head to clear her thoughts, before nodding. Her face was pale, whether from the cold or the residual fear one couldn't tell, but she seemed more assured now. Her hands were still gripped softly onto Ryoma's arm.

"Left," she said again, voice stronger this time and nodding firmly. "Maybe we can find others in the classrooms."

Ai tried to smile reassuringly at her companion.

"I can trust you to take responsibility and protect me right?" was her joking comment. "D-don't shoot anyone else, okay?"
