Very, very carefully, Naoto reached out, placing her hand ontop of the Demi-Fiends. It was a careful gesture--she'd pull it back the moment the Demi-Fiend showed discomfort, yet at the same time she couldn't let the young woman--and in the end, despite this parasite within her, she WAS a young woman--be so alone.
"... I can't imagine how you've suffered. And now I see why you feel so alone here. I haven't gone through such a deep pain as yourself, but I have seen a person-a human-become more of a monster than a man, acting with supreme selfishness... and a God only working to encourage him. And I've seen something non-human become the most human of us all."
Adachi and Teddie... such opposites of one another in all ways possible. Yet it was easy to argue who was the most 'human' of the two, though Adachi did seem to start to regain his humanity.
"I can't begin to understand your pain. But I also want you to remember you're not alone anymore. You have every right to be suspicious of those around you; I know you're probably waiting for someone's true nature to be displayed and to be again assured of what humans are truly capable of... I... have seen some horrible things on a minor scale myself; I was a detective back in Japan."
Not to mention what they had nearly done to Namatame. But with a nod, she squeezed Shura's hands.
"Even still... I ask that you consider that this world hasn't been ripped apart the same as the Tokyo you are from. Civility is still very much a thing here, as difficult that must be for you to believe."
