[ Mitsunari's text causes Ivan to pause as stare at his watch as if it had started to turn colors in his hand. What are they? Ivan knows they are friends... at least, but that also doesn't seem... right.
But that's not the real issue and question here, so he doesn't have to try and figure out an answer for his own question. ]
[ So he had died at some point, too, which is something Barnaby had neglected to mention, though he could understand why. Not a lot of people are eager to speak of their deaths. ]
You'll avoid losing him if you focus on protecting him. And in order to protect him, we need to figure out everything we can about the Cultists. Then we can have the advantage.
[ It was a "different" Barnaby, all the way back in ALPHA, but Ivan still fears this "current" Barnaby dying all the same... if not more so because he's formed such a close bond with him. He's become "his" Barnaby even if he knows that he's most likely from another dimension and not his.
COMPASS makes things difficult like that. ]
I haven't. I've been trying to adjust to the changes the campus and city went under, so I can use them to my advantage. It's the first time I've been able to since coming back from the town.
I accept that the ordeal of your death was difficult for you, but we don't have much time to waste here. They're increasing in number. Right now, you must focus on stopping them from hurting others, especially if you want to keep men like Barnaby alive.

Have you been able to infiltrate them at all?

Don't do anything foolish in the meantime, Ivan.
