[ Thankfully Daniel is more than used to honorifics, having been called Daniel-san basically all his life by his teacher. It just makes him smile in acknowledgement at the boy, and the moment Ken holds out his hand, Daniel is quickly to grab it and give it a shake. ]

It's nice to meet you too. You know.. [ He uses his free hand to gesture at the space around them. ] Despite the circumstances.

[ Said circumstances being this eerie city? The kidnapping that brought them here? Ken's inexplicable crying fit?

Who knows, but Daniel smiles all the same, letting go of the handshake after a moment or so. ]

I just hope you now know you're never alone here. Not even just because I'm here. [ Please, he's not that conceited. ] This place is filled with tons of people who I'm sure will want to listen to you when you need it too. I know some good people here, so the same will count for you soon enough.
