"... Thanks." It's... odd. People like Ryoji aren't properly Children, but it's not like he hasn't had other weird people in his Brood before. Ax was definitely not from the Dark Mother. And aside from that... there's such a thing as having actual friends, too. It's a strange concept for him, but it exists. After three years of survival and diving deep into weirdness, it's hard to think of things in a normal human way again.

He thinks for a bit, and tries to push forward. A normal human subject. "... What sort of classes are you taking right now?"
