Unsurprisingly, Aoba had chosen to stay away from the front lines. While he was no stranger to getting stuck in with the rest of the Squares back home, he'd always done his best work away from the action (his undeveloped physique was probably the reason for that, in all honesty). Besides, where's the sense in throwing himself into this when plenty of other people are up for it?

So yeah, he's doing his best 'youthful idiot' impression right now, pacing nervously and so on. He does his best to size everyone up, before eventually moving on to talk to Ideo.

"Um... Could you tell us more about the prototypes, Hazama-san?" There's never a bad time to fish for information!! "I'm not really sure what kind of work is done here."
