Sooyoung doesn't snip at Dokja to change direction, so maybe she also has no idea where they're going either? But walking is good, it helps give her a sense of purpose. At Dokja's words, her eyebrows go up and she snorts,]
Are you sure Felix's okay? He's like a mini Yoo Joonghyuk, sliced in half.
[SHUT UP DON'T LOOK AT HER AND PERCEIVE THE HEIGHT, she jabs an elbow towards his side but there's no Intent behind it, just an instinctive 'beat up kim dokja' kinda vibe, you know?]
Can't tell if I feel worse for you or for him.
[felix is annoying sure, but she's had a lifetime of Dokja being a little shit to her... does that make her sympathize with felix? no. she just thinks it's hilarious]
[ Well, okay. He supposes it wouldn't hurt to familiarize himself with the city now that they're living here for some indeterminable amount of time. He weaves his way through the crowd, mindful not to knock against any shoulders. ]
... Any theories on why so many of us are from the Netherworld?
[ Might as well do what they do best during this free time. ]
[Sooyoung keeps her eyes trained on the crowd. It feels so strange to see so many people here, at least the Netherworld had been an obvious genre shift. This... feels too much like the world before the Scenarios.
And too much like the world after the Scenarios.]
Maybe we all ascended at the same time? Or maybe someone got tired of the afterlife premise and shoved us into a new setting?
[That's what she would have done, if she were the author!!!]
It's not like the Netherworld was that inspired. It barely made sense half the time.
[ Falls silent as she speaks. He agrees with everything Sooyoung says, including how unoriginal the premise of the Netherworld had been, and he's coming to discover there are a lot of borrowed story elements in this new world, too.
... But the worry creeps at his thoughts at the idea of someone doing this to them, considering that last "someone" had been him. ]
Yeah, they could have scrapped it when they realized it wasn't heading in the direction they envisioned.
[ For now, he anxiously grabs hold of this theory, wanting no part of the blame for this case even if the guilt of what he'd done back home continues to weigh heavy at his heart. Think of something else, anything else. ]

Dokja looks at her with his own raised eyebrows because LOOK AT YOURSELF, HAN SOOYOUNG.
But her comment does get a small laugh out of him because she's not wrong? Maybe that's why Dokja likes tormenting poor Felix so much. ]
That just means I know how to deal with him. [ All those stoic swordsmen are the Same. ] Besides, he's all talk most of the time anyway.

Did you have a destination in mind or are you leaving it up to me to end up hopelessly lost?

[why does she always have to be the SMART one? she gives Dokja a Look,]
Let's just keep walking around. You should at least memorize one landmark before we go back.
