"Oh, Ritsu..."
Your brother presses the mask into your hands.
"I should think that would be obvious by now."
"In fact, why don't you take this?"
Your brother offers you a reassuring smile to go with the gas mask in his hand.
"Please calm down, Ritsu...are you that worried about this puzzle? Don't worry, I promise to keep you out of danger."

(Why am I suddenly injecting myself into a discussion like this, anyway? This has nothing to do with me.
Why am I the one in charge? Why am I the one to set the rules? I don't want to. I don't want the responsibility.)
(This is getting nowhere...might as well throw my own opinion into the ring.)
