For a moment Hikigaya and Oreki look at each other and then they look back at Raymond.
"He did come." Hikigaya said before he paused and then added
"He sent one of his avatars"
Raymond however was not disappointed.
"You can tell him to go back to Earth. I know he is worried about Paulette. The fact he already sends his avatar here shows his stance. We only need to know his stance. And the danger itself...is negligible. Tell him, he can go. Paulette…."
He was about to say something but he only closes his eyes and shakes his head, not finishing his sentence
Hikigaya and Oreki understood what Raymond is trying to say and what he wanted to say and why he could not finish his words.
