The thought doesn't finish. He's moved them both on to other matters. Toko gets the sense she's being railroaded by this bizarro cave genie, but still. He's right about the way back up. She doesn't fancy her odds there, even if it means (pause to gulp in fear) going deeper.]

[Historically speaking, Fukawa Toko does not thrive in the dark. In spite of her Wednesday Addams chic she is actually quite afraid of it, and she doesn't want to deal with any supernatural nonsense when she can't even see. Also, she has no idea who this guy is.
Her hands fly to her hair. She pulls at the roots in indignant fury.]
Why does everything h-have to be an impossible situation?! I hate this car!
[But she does dutifully roll to her feet. She's still in a big time pout, still swiping the last of the cobwebs off and rubbing her rear where the sit bones had taken a bruising, but lo. She does not forfeit! In the face of danger!!

She just reserves the right to complain.]
