She shook her head rather enthusiastically at his question. "Oh, I imagine not much different from your own." That was...possibly the worst attempt at avoiding a question that had ever existed. Haru was clearly not talented at lying or changing subjects. Even her expression revealed a certain unease with the question and embarrassment at not being able to cover up the question. Strangely, this of all things seemed to be the first time that their time difference truly seemed to pose a difficulty. A part of Haru simply wanted to avoid discussing it because of how much it bothered her. Another large part of her wanted to avoid discussing it because she didn't want to add more burden to him. He had his own mirror self here and she was certain he probably had his own complicated feelings to sort through. He hardly needed more.
"No...not the Metaverse. It's...oh," she sighed. "It's so very complicated. After we found the truth behind Mementos we were able to triumph over it." That seemed....like a good enough explanation. Right? "However, someone else was able to harness the power from it and they used that power to affect the real world! They..." she frowned and put her knitted her fingers together near her chest as she recalled what he'd done. "They were...quite misguided in what they did. However, they truly thought it was what was best for people. The world became what they thought was a perfect reality for us. Only Ren noticed that things were not right." And she still felt utterly awful for how easily they had all just fallen into their new happy lives. "For many people it was living in a world where our loved ones had never died. Or where they were the people we had always wanted them to be." Was that too much of an explanation? Oh, dear, now she was just second guessing that to no end. It really had been far too much to tell someone. But it seemed oddly relevant to what this may be. At least from what she had seen. It had seemed like this person in the mirror had looked like her and yet...there were some differences. Perhaps the differences came from living a slightly different life? Maybe that was a silly theory.
Maybe she should second guess herself yet. Oh no, was she second guessing herself about second guessing herself?
She let out a heavy sigh. "I continue to miss her more and more. Perhaps we started to take her for granted." There was a light smile on her lips with that, clearly just joking. Futaba would never let them take her for granted. Besides as a friend group they were actually all fairly good at making sure everyone knew they were appreciated.
Once they had agreed she started on her way, though there was a certain degree of hesitation in her steps. Clearly she was not used to not having someone specific to follow and she most definitely lacked the confidence to be that person herself. Still, he was very right in saying it was better than standing here and hoping answers came to them. "I think," she pointed in the direction they were walking (though the fog obscured whatever she might have been trying to point at). "I think I spotted a city that way not too far off? Perhaps there will be people there that can give us some direction?" Now that he had mentioned things being less shy to approach she was a bit...less confident in finding help.
