[ Kirigiri's smiles are a precious commodity. ...Well, maybe he shouldn't go that far, but...Naegi smiles back without any hesitation, relaxing a little at the confirmation. He'd sort of figured he was at least a good friend in her estimation - hadn't she helped him out throughout the game...? ]

Maybe...but isn't being foolishly honest one of my strengths? At least, it worked out that way. And if it's ever the wrong move to make, I know you'll be there to tell me so, or help me out. Well, not that I'll be trying to get into trouble... [ Was there a point to this tangent, Naegi? ]

You've taught me a lot, too. I...definitely never would have made it through that game without your help. [ Without the help of all of his friends, but Kirigiri especially had dragged him out of the fire more than once. Even if she had also thrown him into it a few times, because of course she had. ]
