"What other purpose could this place serve?" Conrad emits a disgruntled sigh then and mumbles, "I can tell you that being here hasn't made me a better person." He doesn't want to acknowledge some of the things he's done and it weighs heavily on him. But he supposes so long as he can still regret and feel shame for being a less than stellar person there's still hope for him to do better.

He takes a second to mull over Setsuna's point, but he still has his doubts. An alternative exit just sounds way too good to be true. "Someone who'd been stuck here for quite a while told me the fastest way to get out of Hell is to redeem yourself. I haven't heard of any other possibilities, so I don't know... It's too bad you can't just open up a door and end up back home..." It goes without saying that this would be preferable to winding up in someone else's bedroom.
