[Ryuji doesn't move, still sitting up, fingers playing with the blanket below him as an act of typical fidgeting that's pretty much noticeable to anyone that pays attention.]

Heh, yeah. Ace Phantom Thief, huh? Sounds like somethin' you'd read right outta manga or something like that.

[As unlikely as it was that he would be someone to wind up even in this squad of antiheroes... a fact that he never dwells on or thinks about is... that group wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for Ryuji. He believes Ren is the responsible one for all their achievements, only thinking that he played a side-by-side support role. But if it weren't for Ryuji's enthusiasm and unbending will, they wouldn't have continued on at all. They wouldn't have even gotten to the point of stealing Kamoshida's heart to begin with. So, he sits there, in front of Hajime, unwilling to accept the world as it is.]

Yeah. We'll be able to go home. [It's softer said than his usually brusque, overly confident timbre.] I dunno how far away that is, but. Hey... if you want to change the world, all you gotta do is look at it a different way, y'know? If you give up believin', then that's the world you're gonna create.
