*Yuma goes silent for a moment as he thinks things through to himself. He wants to help Yuya find Yuzu, but, he also doesn't want Alex to face things on her own.
Despite how much he usually trusts people, he didn't really trust Reiji.
Reiji was too calculated and too cold. Yuma felt that he might not mix too well with that, when he'd rather do what his own heart says and not what someone else tells him.

Looking around at those still gathered, he figured it might make sense to split into two groups. Maybe they could gather more allies or information that way.

No matter what... he wanted to walk his own path to stopping Academia too. Not Reiji's path.

Looking back at Alex determinedly, he gives her a nod.*

Then... I'll stand with you and we'll gather those who might want to walk their own path towards Academia. Besides, I have the airship, so as long as I have co-ordinates, we can go whatever path we please.

I want to help Yuya, but, I also want to do my own thing. He won't be on his own, though. I know Gongenzaka will at least go with him, so he'll help Yuya when he needs it.
