[ Alphinaud too blinks back to existence, the moment so jarring he starts in place. He's singed and lightly battered, but feels... weirdly okay, considering what just happened.
(It did, didn't it? He could almost swear that maybe, just maybe...) ]
[True to Souji's assessment, there's nothing in the hall that poses a threat to the party. It's just them here and nobody else. The four corridors appear identical and stretch far enough that they'll have to traverse the distance to see what lies beyond.]
[ Alphinaud can't help but wince at the words, true as they are. Is it really that strange to worry of their wellbeing simply because they... Ugh. Never mind.
Unfortunately, he's also the one here not from Earth, so the joke flies over his head. Instead, Alphinaud looks up northbound. ]
Very well. ... I suppose any direction we pick would, at best, be naught more than a guess. If you've no objections, Clementine, then we must needs not tarry.
[The moment Clementine steps into the north corridor, the familiar voice of Sieghart echoes down the hollowed passage, full of anger yet so distant as to be barely audible:]
What do you know about how I feel!
[Should the party press onward to investigate, they'll find themselves entering a hall identical to the one they just exited with no other soul in sight.]
[He catches that wince, and looks very briefly apologetic... Sometimes you are immune to the struggles of Being Dead and you forget to be sensitive.
BUT TO THE NORTH THEY GO. Hm. Souji hesitates for a second on hearing the familiar voice, but...]
--That's Si-san's voice, isn't it?
[He's going SCOUTING. Unless someone stops him he's absolutely going to try taking the front of the line again because he's perpetually making a meat shield of himself. What direction is it coming from? He's going to try heading that way.]
[The voice has gone silent, providing no clue as to the direction they should go. In the end, Souji chooses to take the party westward. The corridor is quiet, and Clementine and Alphinaud once again arrive at a hall identical to the one they left.

Anyway he's fine HE'S FINE. He just politely raises a hand in response to Alphinaud's question even though he's groce right now.]
We're already dead, aren't we? [HE'S FINE!!!] ...You're most likely right, in any case... I feel we should go North.
[This is a history joke.]

Alphinaud looks around, panic rising in his chest; what is he supposed to do alone? … Could he find the others?
After some mental preparation, he goes north. ]
