[The waved hand returns very quickly to Ren's pocket as he tilts his head, as if trying to discern what Mamoru means. In reality, he knows very well what he means, because it's basically the same idea he's had since he got close enough to the forest to see it truly - it feels serene, but there's a perfection to it so immaculate it seems false.

It's why he's elected to reserve eating or drinking anything from the area for if he gets desperate. With any luck, he'll make it out the other side before that becomes an issue.]

I'm not sure, I think natural things can look really perfect sometimes...but then, there must be something wrong since so many people have disappeared, right? So it might just be trying to trick us.

[He shrugs, as if forests trying to trick you is completely normal and fine.]
