As he pinched the bridge of his nose again, Makima noted for the younger lass that Yugi was upset ─ with her, specifically. In truth, he wasn't that bothered. It seemed a heavy bit of information to randomly come clean about with no extra thought, but... the thought he applied made it fine enough. "Head," was his only spoken phrase for a while.

Shortly afterwards, the time came to have another exchange with Makima. The Dungeon that Ember Skull Guild was sent to didn't have much time before a natural break, but it was also possible for a total failure to result in Dungeon Breaks. "Long tutorial. Starter Dungeon, follow-up Dungeon Break. That's fine; I'm working on a thing anyway," he babbled. As for the information Makima wanted, it all started with the details of the Players' routes. They had some useful data about that, in actuality, so Makima could have her answer quite easily. "The routes are confirmed full hetero. As for whether activation can be forced or not, it seems possible with nuances. If somebody has interest in us, it's logged as a starting Intimacy percentage in the System and placed as a route. But... you've already proven there's an exception. Your route didn't appear until I said what was necessary to make it a worthwhile thought in your head. Even then, accepting it was more like... accepting a trial quest whose success would open the actual route," he explained with his gaze averted, not to view the System screens this time, but instead to watch Miko ditch that slingshot bunny getup. Even Satoru was casually observing the process as he lay across Makima's desk.
