It's easy for Shikamaru's thoughts to immediately turn to Sasuke, the only one left of his clan, who had ventured on a lifelong path of revenge to try and get back at those responsible for wiping out his family. Delsin doesn't seem like he's half as bitter as Sasuke was, but Shikamaru doesn't want to know what Delsin might look like if he really does return to a world without his tribe.
"I hope that they do. If nothing else, you're alive and well. It might sound harsh, but even knowing that one person still remains is a ray of hope all its own," Shikamaru points out.
"But for the sake of you and yours, I'll certainly keep trying to learn about this city, and see if there are any exits to be found."
