Shimizu abruptly turned to the others. "While there's still time, let's discuss where we should go next. I think we should continue north, because the base is in the center of the island, and north is roughly the direction we need to go, right? But maybe the path to the west or east will be easier? It's a shame that I don't even have a rough idea of the island's size." Mostly, Tsukiko hoped that Katsuhiro would say something useful; he seemed smarter than the others.

Otherwise..." - this "otherwise" hung in the air, and the girl waited for suggestions on the direction. But not for long; if there were no reasonable suggestions, the group would immediately head north.
