[Thank you, Shuichi. Both Ace and Kokichi appreciate it, even if Kokichi doesn't even realize it. Once they're in the alley behind the hotel though, he seems to come back to it. He glances around first and then focuses on Ace, who gestures to the right most path.]

If the two of you follow this path, you will eventually come upon more help. We'll guide you as best as we can to the hideout.

[There's a hum of acknowledgement from Kokichi. Completely trusting his subordinate.]
