"Yeah... To be honest, Haru-senpai came after me because she didn't want me to get hurt. I asked Makoto-san for help, but things got... dangerous in there, and I think he needs some space." She doesn't want to tempt fate by saying the wrong thing and causing him to forget. That's risky. "I'm sorry you were stuck in there for so long. It's especially sad that it took this long for someone to come find you, but I don't think anyone really knew what happened."

"I think Crow will be happy, at least. He probably would have come, but I think I said something that upset him on accident."
