[It doesn't surprise Light that Diluc answers everything except Light's surmise about his past. He mentally notes that down.]
Honestly? I think the scenery's the main reason I'm calm. If it were just the magic, maybe I'd struggle with it. But everything else here is equally weird--and a hell of a lot more dangerous. If I'm being forced to accept resurrection and body-snatching fungus, why would I draw the line at you or Palamedes?
[It's part of the truth--he really doesn't distinguish between magic and Wellstone's general weirdness--but it's far from the whole truth. He knows that now. Not that he would confide in Diluc about that.]
But in terms of what I do best, I'd say you've got the wrong objective. Look at how the past two rooms were structured--we advanced as a team, or not at all. The logical conclusion is that you dying or incapacitating yourself would result in both of us failing the test, whether I survived or not. You walking ahead makes sense, but the objective is both of our safety, not mine. All right?
