Which gives you more incentive to enjoy being alive right here, right now, while you can.
And well, if it makes you feel any better, I can tell you for sure that the Game is on pause right now. [He shrugs, not sure how much Joshua has told Neku, but with both Joshua and Mr. H there -- the Game is definitely on pause no matter what.] So, don't worry your little head about it, princess.
[If it's Mr. H... I feel like I can believe it. Just hearing it from him actually does kind of reassure me. Still not really in a partying mood though...]
[He's thinking now of how much to tell Neku. He can't of course, tell him everything. So he picks his words carefully.]
Sometimes, Phones, you have to work with the options you are given. Circumstances force changes in the Game that have to be accepted. For now, the Game is on pause because of circumstances out of our control.
[There, that didn't give away too much information.]
[He... noticed it, but only really because Mr. H stopped to correct himself. He didn't really know what he meant by it. Mr. H wasn't a player, right? But he does know an awful lot about the Game...]
[A little too much. Could he really pick up on every rule and procedure on hearsay from Josh?... Maybe he was in it once. Who knows how long this thing has existed? I kinda want to ask, but maybe that's a sore subject. Well, if he doesn't want to answer, I won't force him, but it shouldn't hurt to ask.]
How did you get to know so much about the Game, anyway?

[He grins at you, Neku~ Come on, be merry!] You've been here how long? A few months? And you're not dead yet. So, celebrate that, at least for a day.

I don't know what changes I could expect whenever I do return.

Hey, don't call me that!

[Smirk smirk smirk. Sorry, Neku, but he is definitely going to call you this again sometime soon.]
And yes, for sure.

I thought the setup there was so strict, though. I didn't think it'd allow pausing for any reason, let alone for this long.

So even the Game can be affected by other forces. Huh.

Yep! It's unusual though, but that seems to be the case.

[Smile smile smile. Yes, he probably meant that slip, just to test Neku really. Probably.]
