I don't... I don't like going on gut feelings and instinct without having something concrete to go off of. Facts and sources are important for any good reporter.
[ But then Sasuke sighs. It's heavy, and Daria might even be able to imagine his shoulders dropping and his head hanging down. ]
... But when I get this feeling so strongly, I have to pay attention to it. I feel like I know who they really are, but there's this wall between us that keeps us from seeing the full picture. Damn it, I must sound like I'm losing it.
No, losing it would mean you’d probably come up with half of that. That’s even if I were able to speak to you right now.
[Sasuke would hear a door opening.]
So you have some options. If you’re so intent on following your gut on this then it sounds like you need to start genuinely figuring it out. Maybe it’s about time you fought to find those answers, because faith alone isn’t going to cut it.
I'll pay close attention to their reactions when I tell them about tonight. I think that will tell me what I need to know about what kind of people they really are.
[ Daria is absolutely right. He can't keep doing his best and waiting for them to change because he's proven himself. He's not sure what he'll do if their reactions show that they aren't the people he hopes them to be. Start looking for a new job? ]

By your own admission just now.

[...Sasuke was a cool guy. She didn’t mind taking these things out with him in the slightest. He seemed to listen. That was so nice.]
At least then it’s for your benefit.

Yeah, I'll get an answer one way or the other.
