Zero pat Ryu's back a few times so as to ease him. Ryu opened his eyes as he smiled at Zero. This guy, despite being from a criminal organization, was a lot better than Saiko.
Ryu's impression towards Saiko: -10000
Ryu's impression towards Zero: +10000
"Thanks," said Ryu with a smile. He would be lying if he was not a big fan of Saiko yet hearing his idol was not as he expected. He was particularly disappointed.
"You okay?" Narukami pondered. He did not expect Ryu to be this disappointed. He somewhat regretted telling it to him.
"I'm okay," said Ryu as he got up.
"Right, Narukami. I'm curious why you let me stay here instead of coming down with them?" Zero asked. The word, them, was referring to his friends who were probably in the process of being tortured.
While they directly fell, he was still here. Which made him ponder.
"I just forgot that but since you've reminded me. Down you go."
