[If only he could leave it there. With him thanking Loki for reaching out to Baizhu. Alas, he can't.
He thinks about how Baizhu reacted when he tried to talk about this with him. He did promise, in the end, but he wasn't happy. And Hiyori knows, after the experience they shared in the Punishment Room, that this won't make Loki happy, either. Still, he comes out and says it.]
I asked Baizhu-san about this too, actually. Basically, I wanted you both to know that I keep some notes in my room. About how the resort works, what happens to people here, what the House and the suits are like, and all that stuff. Then I wrote some personal messages too, for people here and people back home.
[A slight pause, before he clarifies:]
Kind of like the note that other "me" wrote for Jun-kun.
[He forces a smile. It's hard; he's not in quite as bad a state as he was when he spoke to Baizhu, because Rinne's disappearance isn't still a fresh wound. But it still hurts, still makes him feel scared. Every day, he wonders who will be next: will it be someone he's met here, or someone from his world? If it's the latter—if it's inevitable that someone else from his world will disappear—then he can only hope that it's him instead of Jun. Even though he knows that's the last thing his partner would ever want...
He shakes off those feelings of dread and guilt, looking Loki in the eye as he asks:]
So if I ever disappear and become a statue like Rinne-senpai, I was hoping you could recover those. You'd have an easier time with that than Baizhu-san, since you've already broken into that storage room before. We both know it takes a while to find things in there, though, so I wondered if it might be better to leave you with a copy.
[There's a longer pause now; he's watching, gauging Loki's response.]

Would that be too much to ask?
