Rise's a good enough actress to recognize that Nanami's not exactly being forthcoming. But she's not going to pry. They just met, after all... if Nanami wants to open up to her, she'll listen, but she doesn't expect it to happen in a few minutes.

Observing the other girl kind of takes her mind off of her own problems for a moment. If she had to guess, she'd say Nanami is almost as uneasy about this place and the people that brought them there as Rise is. But instead of relying on others she can trust for support, Nanami seems to be staying on the defensive. Maybe she just wasn't as lucky as Rise and didn't have as much stability and support when she first arrived?

Heck, Rise's still a bit of an emotional wreck even with her friends and Cairi around. She'd probably be building up walls too if she were all alone.

All that considered, she's quick to agree with Nanami when she answers. "I guess so, huh? Especially in a place like this..."

She wants to reassure Nanami that she and Cairi aren't the kind of strangers she'd need to worry about, but maybe it's best to leave that to her to decide?

She wants to say something, though. Even if it means appearing more vulnerable.

"That's kind of why I'm visiting with Cairi-san. I'm... not really comfortable being alone around strangers here yet."
