Finn: So we aren't actually just going straight to the surface in 2 days without sleep or rest, right? Heading out of the tent*

Yusuke: It won't take 2 days; just get your supplies and get ready to go.

Riviera: Give us some more information to work with here.

Hedin: That's all we can tell you.

Finn: You can't be serious.

Allen: Just shut up already. If you don't like the plan, feel free to stay here and go back with your own group. We will leave you the supplies you need.

Gareth: Why not give us the information we need instead?

Allen: You don't need to know.

Ais: ...Bell?

Bell: Sorry, I can't help you this time. We can't tell you anything because it will cause a huge amount of damage to our familia if any information gets leaked.

Finn: (I don't really think trusting them just like this is the best option but my thumb feels fine, so it shouldn't be anything bad for us.)  *sigh* Fine, we will comply for now. (They made us do worse, like almost die on the 59th floor because we didn't have any potions against that demi spirit.)

Hedin: Well, then pack your items and meet us at the departure site in 10 minutes.

Finn: So what now, Hedin? We are here like you asked.

Hedin: Good, now we are ready to return to the surface.

Finn: We still have no idea how you mean to do that.

Bell: We will show you.

Finn: So you can't tell us, but you can just show us and let us learn everything that way?

Bell: Never said you would be able to figure anything out. *Hugs Ais*

Ais: Bell, what are you doing?

Bell: Hugging you?

Ais:... I meant why, and can you at least lower your grip strength? It's not like I'm going somewhere.

Bell: It's a requirement that this only works on Freya familia members, so you need to be holding on to me if we want to include you guys in this technique.

Bete: What kind of stupid requirement is that?

Bell: Do you believe me, Aiz?

Ais: Fine, I do.

Ottar: Finn. *extending his hand*

Finn: *Takes it* Please tell me, you don't have to hug me.

Ottar: *Chuckles* No, but you should hold my hand like you want to kill me.

Finn: Huh?

Ottar: Or I can hold your hand like I want to kill you, if you prefer that? However, I can't promise that I won't be able to break your arm if I was really trying to hurt you-

Hedin: Ottar, shut up!

Ottar:... Sorry, I didn't realize.

Finn: Can you at least tell us the exact requirement for this contact part?

...

Finn: Come on, we aren't asking for much here.

Bell: Let me give you an example: It won't work if I just normally hug Aiz; it will just leave her here while I reach the surface; however, if the "thing" that will get us to the surface thinks I'm in a fight with Aiz, it will force us to have to teleport Aiz with us.
