Yes, if they can be believed.
[based on her tone, that's a very big if for her.]

[she shrugs.]
Well, if part of the lie is that they have few memories, it is an understandable part of their story. And that story... It seems like it would make it easy to explain why there are questions you can't answer without having to admit that you just don't want to answer them.

[Well. Here's Nogiku, staring at the fucking void while smoking a Lisa Frank cigarette. Today is somehow the worst day of her life? Horrible. Awful. She's leaning against the iron railing when she notices Vin, and sighs.]
Have you checked out your apartment?

[she nods in response to the question.]
It is... strange. [a beat, though, taking in her general vibe. will nogiku be okay. someone please save her.] Is yours unpleasant?

...That they say we can't go home?
[that would be her first guess, at least.]

No, though that's part of it.
It's... their lack of identity. From what they said, it sounded like they aren't originally from around here, and they remember enough to know that much. But they can't remember where they came from, and they don't care that they can't remember anymore.
If they were being honest, will that happen to us if we stay here?

I do not dislike it.
[which is a good thing, in her book. anyways, she frowns lightly at that information, because that sounds like a nightmare.]
Who is there with you?

[the rooftop is an easy place for her to clear her mind, so she's heading there shortly after the "trial". when she sees nogiku already here, she pauses for a few moments, before:]
...I do not like this.
[in the "i think something bad is about to go down" meaning, not the "i'm not having a good time" meaning. although, maybe both, honestly.]

And that being worried when a group of people who had no bad blood between them suddenly wants to kill each other means that we are overreacting or being too sensitive.
[she already had 0 trust for the npcs, but this is worse, somehow.]

[ah... she nods, understanding. there's a moment of thought as she frowns.]
I imagine we will do everything in our power to prevent that from happening.
[she is not shonen enough to immediately say they won't let it happen, but she's pretty sure nobody will take that consequence lightly, either.]

[nogiku truly has her sympathy in this moment. after a moment:]
I do not think anyone would think that choice unwise.
[garou..... she doesn't really know the other two and damien has been shockingly nice to her, but.]

You should at least be able to take the mattress and bedding from your room, if you wanted to...
[save nogiku.]
Kumon, Atsushi, and Vanille.
[For Now.]

...It is hard to reason with people who do not believe you have a right to your feelings, or that they are somehow wrong.
