"It makes sense in your head? I'd like to hear the logic. There is no element greater than any other, and aside from that minor elements are only subcategories to major elements, so then first would you select major and most important to you based purely on subjective thought alone, and in what terms makes one element superior to others? More destructive? If it's a matter of life, I think that there is no way to pick any one to start. Take what makes our home planet, Earth..."

Gokudera is not letting this just go without a proper discussion, thanks.

"What makes it so vastly different from other planets is water, so there's blue, and if life is surviving, that's plants, which are most prolific, so there's green. What color would you assign air? also is it more important than sunlight, and is that represented with red or yellow? What element indigo? Isn't earth an element? I didn't see a brown button."

It's all well and good they took their chances, but he wants to see the work behind your answer, Takao. Like a math teacher or a scientist, he wants to know how something works. As they move, he makes sure to keep somewhat close to Takao, after all, he didn't necessarily solve that last puzzle to move through. And if they walk with anything coming between them, that's just bad luck.

The plaque stands out well enough and he reads it over the other teen's shoulder. "Death? The grim reaper?" Gokudera looks around, wondering where they answer the riddle. "isn't death an abstract concept... why is it portrayed as a man...?" Idle wondering.
