That frown isn't encouraging. Frowns don't come with positive news, do they? And he had become so accustomed to negative news, when it came to him and Hajime, that he was already presuming the worst. Her actual answer makes him untense, and let out a breath. "...thanks."

Having asked all of that from before has reminded him of one more very, very important question. "...since I'm here, my world's Hajime's... is he the last one left? I, I mean, am I really gone from my world?" His tension is back. His absence would leave only Joker Undead left to be the default winner of the Battle Fight, and from there... apocalypse.
