"If you're sure," he looks away with his gaze softening. No point in trying to push really, all he can do is wait it out and let Hamuko take things down at her own pace. If it does come to shove he will have to make use of Azathoth to get out of here as soon as possible.
It's not like Maruki was actually planning to ditch this place entirely- that wouldn't have been right. This place holds a magnamimous key to how perception can distort an individual's views paired with the people around them. "I do want to unveil this mystery surrounding Nyx now," he grips his chin as he tries to consider how could Nyx simply overshadows the populace. "Her existence stemming from humanity craving for death seems...almost too absurd to me," he shakes his head like he was looking at an equation he knew he had studied for but couldn't conjure up a proper answer at the very end. No proof to bring uniformity.

"Facing adverse situations and believing in yourself to come out of it on top is very admirable," he answers with a small smile. "I will try my best not to weigh you down then."
