[Kokichi isn't the only one who's irritated. This is the second time he's now asked something that he SHOULD know the answer to, and that stirs up just enough irritation in Shuichi for him to address it this time.]
Well I don't, and you should know full well why I don't. [Because, again, it's all your fault "Mr. Mastermind".] We all should have died a long time ago! There's no point in being alive anymore, when the entire planet was wiped out centuries ago.
[Angry tears well up in the corners of his eyes. It's like a dam has broken, now that he's let that little bit of irritation affect him. Instead of feeling nothing, he's suddenly feeling everything. Or at least, a whole lot of sadness and anger. And along with those emotions, a memory comes floating to the forefront of his mind. A recent one, of that mysterious woman reaching out her hand to him in the dorm. And he can remember what she said this time, and what she'd said again in the quad. About them being "the last bastions of hope" who would be able to "save us all". And it just incenses him further, some of the tears actually spilling out of his eyes and falling to the ground.]
What's the point in passing this stupid test or doing whatever it is these people want, for a world that's dead and gone!? It's well past the point of "being saved" and you know that just as well as I.
