[There's an element of bravado to it, but at least he's trying to keep his spirits up.]
We'll bring them here, and everything will work out in the end!
[He hasn't discussed that conversation they had with Naegi since the day they'd had it - not with Mondo, or with anyone else for that matter.

It still weighs on his mind from time to time, and it resurfaces somewhat unpleasantly now; he'll try to push it away for the time being because really, Ishimaru, now isn't the time.]
