[ well, he looks happy, so all she can really feel is awe and a deep respect for miss da vinci. ]
You look happy, Mister Ingo. As both your and Miss da Vinci's teammate, I think that's all I can really hope for, especially in a place like this! By the way...
[ a bit bashfully, she raises her hand and lifts her pinky finger, on which there is a reddish-orange thread as well, though it appears to be one of those that disappears at the end. ]
Just so there isn't any confusion between you two, I should clarify, when she said "passionate affair," she was talking about my thread, not the one between you two.
[He is glad it seems to have shifted into acceptance from the initial confusion. That's the best he can really ask for there too.]
Ah, I wondered if it might be something like that... I just thought she must be using her own strings to make the assessment. In your case, then, is it accurate? Would you describe it as a "passionate affair?"
[ lowering her hand again, she starts to fidget with said reddish-orange string. ]
That's what it seems like. It must be referring to a dear friend from home. He and I have been in a relationship in the past, but it's gotten a bit... complicated as time has gone on. I guess it hardly matters now that I'm here, though.
Ah... But your feelings have not changed, despite the changing circumstances! The color remains vivid! And you never know who will appear here unexpectedly. I hope the best for your relationship in the future!
Love is not about who is suited to one another by hierarchy.
[He says, simply, his cheery tone still in place. But as she continues...
Though Ingo is habitually frowning, his mouth flattens into a deeper frown at the phrasing of the question. This answer is delivered in a more flat way.]
[ The look she give him at his first comment suggests that this is something she's heard and considered countless times before... but doesn't necessarily believe. She knows, on a sentimental level, that this is true, but...
Every day I learn something about this place that seems so... unfathomable. [ a sigh. ] Still, I guess that might be... a good thing? My friends and family aren't stuck wondering where I've gone with no way to get to or even know what happened to me.
Ah... There just isn't any escaping the fact that this is not hypothetical, for him. Me disappearing without any explanation already happened, and was a truly awful experience for him to go through. I cannot consider the possibility of it happening to anyone else at a remove.
[ She recalls him talking about this, now, when she had first arrived to this place. ]
Then, let's count it as a small blessing. No one else has to go through what you and your brother have because of us being here. And now you two are here together, too!
...What Miss Tsuruno is doing is—working within the system. Trying to purchase a wish through the prison shop. I do not know if there is a way you can help her in that. But, if you have a theory for alternative methods, I think pursuing those theories would make everyone feel more reassured, that there are backup plans.
...The what...? I have never heard of that magic. What is this Wish spell? There is a Pokemon move by such a name, I believe, but it is unrelated.
[Most of the things in the shop are mysteries to him and to most people, this one included. So maybe this spell is a clue as to what it is and how it works? He doesn't know!]
No, I don't believe they're related either, but... the Wish spell is a very powerful magic, where I'm from. Only very powerful mages can cast it, and even then it's incredibly risky...
Even if this purchase from the Prison Shop isn't the same spell, per se, I would caution your friend around using it. Or at least... make sure they're prepared. Any magic that's powerful enough to affect worlds shouldn't be taken lightly... Though I'm sure everyone's being careful!
[ she'll make sure to ask Miss Sprezzatura later. She'd probably know. ]
But I know that it leaves the spellcaster in drained of their strength and energy... Such that casting more magic might harm them. It's truly the most powerful spell that any mortal being can cast, where I'm from.
No, not forever, but... At least for a good amount of time. But you're right - it could very well be worth that, but that's all up to the person making the wish.
And... I'm not sure if it's quite the same with what the shop offers, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were similar drawbacks...

[ weird flex but ok ]
I wonder... Do the people back home know about where we've gone...? Or do we just disappear?

No—it is neither. Time does not move at home.
