[Even though Hiiro did say he had no reason to annihilate him, that still leaves other idols in danger, including Hiyori's own family. It also puts their dreams at risk. Nagisa's dream, his own dream... even the dream that he and Eichi pursued together, along with the rest of "fine." All that blood they spilt would be for nothing, if the very concept of idols was destroyed.
Perhaps that's what motivates him now, above all else. Driving him onwards, even while he's stuck alone in this hellish environment, without Nagisa or his ex-comrades or even the boy to recruit. Maybe that's all he has now: this idea that he mustn't allow that stage to be his last.
But enough about that dreariness.
Hiyori asked for an explanation and Hiiro provides one, though it leaves him feeling thoroughly incredulous. He'd already mentioned the bit about his father being in bad condition. But his brother is a monarch? His father is a monarch? It just all sounds too far-fetched, even for someone who grew up in a noble household.]
Er...
[He furrows his brow, unable to keep up with all the jumping around.]
First of all, let me make sure I have everything straight... your father is the ruler of some far-flung rural village, but he's fallen tragically ill all of a sudden, which means it's time for the family heir to step in. So, you're on a quest to bring your brother back home to succeed the throne... correct? But your brother lives here in the city, and you have reason to believe he's working as an idol for some reason... is that it? Do I have that all squared away properly?
