It's my obligation to consider the alternatives, Ishimaru-kun. That's my responsibility.

There's no doubt that these circumstances are different from the ones we left. However, having seen what Celes-san is capable of, don't think that I won't be cautious. It's the same for Kuwata-kun, and would be the same for Maizono-san if she were here as well. If it's the thought of mistrusting Celes-san that bothers you, then I'll say that it's the circumstances I mistrust — that I don't want to see them align again in such a way that she might have reason to act that way again.
