[Jin has been absent from CO for a few days. Not too noticeable, considering his usual behavior, but it is a little weird when you consider he hasn't been able to use his Gate Key for months.]

This place again... I didn't think I would ever see it again.

[For some reason, Jin seems to be have some slight difficulties with moving. Still, he's dealing with the immense amount of pain he's in a lot better than usual. He looks at his Gate Key, briefly trying to use it on the portal behind him. Unsurprisingly, there's no response.]

I must have arrived here by mere chance again... It seems this organization remains determined on getting in my way.

[Unable to return to his world, Jin starts walking through the complex. He's considering getting his Gate Key reactivated but, with his prior behavior, it seems unlikely, especially when you consider his recent absence.]

How are you...?

[This is like Ragna said, isn't it? She's from a different point in time. Before all of that happened. He should probably tell her about that soon, but...]

It's... good to see you again.

It really is a pleasure.

[There's something she's been wanting to ask but she's not sure if she should pry it out of him. She hesitates at first but gets it out eventually]

U-Umm...Jin? How was it like back home..?

...The same as it was when I left it.

Tsubaki, what's the last thing you remember before coming here?

Is that so?

W-Well...Captain Hazama ordered me to k-kill you and Lieutenant Noel Vermilion. I was doing my job but I didn't want to fight you...so I let you get away. Jin, please tell me you went back..

And you actually believe him? No good will come out of you following the Captain's orders, or using the Izayoi to do so.

[Tsubaki may notice he didn't address her question. And yes, he may be getting awfully close to breaking CO's 'don't interfere' rule, but Jin is not going to let things turn out the way they did.]

[That's not exactly what she asked but she'll respond to his statement.]

Y-Yes, I do. Captain Hazama is a kind man. I don't want to overlook his good will.

I have a mission to accomplish. Using Izayoi simply helps me achieve it. I want to finish this before it's too late...Jin, please understand.

[Jin flinches when Tsubaki calls Hazama that. After all he did to her...]

There are other ways to accomplish your goals. You don't have to use something as dangerous as that to do so.
