"Not seeing it doesn't mean it's not there." Paranoid or not, at least things are calm for the moment and he can focus on the necessities. At least as long as he's with someone else. Testing his abilities can come later.
"It does seem normal enough for the moment, though."
Shinjiro grunted. He wouldn’t argue with that. He’s not like Fuuka or Mitsuru - if there was something crawling around just out of sight, he’d never know about it. They had to stay on their toes.
Normal except for being empty save for two dead guys, anyway. “D’you happen to remember how you even got here? Cause I don’t.”
It’s not really what happened so much as how he said it. Shinjiro gave him a long look, trying to figure out if he was serious. “Wait. So you’re - not surprised, at all, cause you blew yourself up on purpose?”
Honestly, if he had to choose, being poisoned sounded like a shitty way to die. Maybe being blown up was faster? It’s still ‘part of my plan’ that’s bothering him honestly.
"As insane as dying and ending up in a completely empty city, with working power and food left 'round, not rotting or anything, like everyone just vanished?" Shinjiro pointed out dryly. "And I've seen crazy shit before this, too. Try me."
"I think it might be more insane, actually, but I mean..." It's not like there's anyone else around. "Died before ended up in a webnovel where I'm apparently fixing the plotholes of the idiot author. THen I got poisoned so basically the energy I used to do mostly anything kept getting blocked so I finally had to do something on a larger scale and ended it. But I'd found a magical plant so I set it up somewhere where it's just growing and eventually I'd have resurrected in another body.
Shinjiro blinked at him - then huffed. "Okay. That does sound pretty crazy, but - how does that stack up to being awake to a secret hour that exists after midnight, that nobody else experiences 'cause they turn into coffins? If they wake up from their coffins, it's cause they're about have their brains or souls or something eaten by a monster and become a drooling vegetable."
"I don't think readin 'bout it counts, people can make up whatever they want," Shinjiro figured, though - he allowed, "but then again, if it's a kind of story you find yourself actually living not long after that ..."

"But that likely isn't going to be a thing here..." Although there's no way of knowing.
