[The way he cannot offer to help because there's only one shovel presumably and he's a twink with twink arms, so he's truly just going to watch Kanda desecrate these zombie hovels.]
Well, that's true enough. [After a few moments of contemplation:] I wonder if it may look this way every time, moving forward. The graveyard, the... bodies.
[Lucas... you'd never survive in the universe of hit novel Holes
Luckily Kanda has no intention of forcing him to help, not that he could have either way because they really do just have the one shovel.]
The purple one said they'd try and stop the ritual before the two months if they could. But that was before this.
[So if they really do want to save their group, then Kanda thinks they'll bump up their efforts--or they'll prove they're functionally useless. One or the other.]
It'd be faster if they unblocked our abilities. [Said a bit grouchily, but like, not super heated. He's not going to cry at them to change their minds, even if he will be a bitch about it whenever they come talk to him.] But whatever. They're the ones who'll have to live with it if we all drop dead.
[They will all be too dead to deal with it... He also doubts that the loss of forty veritable strangers will really be enough to have a serious emotional impact on a bunch of bozos who thought it'd be a good idea to join a cult in the first place, but he keeps that to himself.]
...We'll have to wait a bit longer either way, it seems.

Is it?
[BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY PART OF THE RITUAL!!]

It's bad either way. [He will acknowledge that without hesitation as he starts to dig.] But it's something we can confirm for ourselves.
[Rather than relying on what the NPCs have to say, which he doesn't... totally mistrust, per se, but doesn't have a lot of faith in.]

[ONE OF THEIR OWN DIED OF CULT BETRAYAL he'd rather them take their time and be less suspicious, really.]
...But I do believe that they'll try as hard as they can, with what they have and in the ways they're able.

[Trusting strangers... like a weirdo...]
no subject
I don't know if believing that someone will try to do what they can could be called having a lot of faith. But I think that they will.

[Even if he'd be sad if they all died...]

[That's about where he's at too, so he won't argue. Instead, he focuses on digging for a bit.]
They said they weren't against fighting. But we don't know long they'll wait before they resort to it.

The fog is the problem. But I don't think there's a way to get past it with whatever spells they're using.
[He doesn't like not being able to even assess their enemy.]

Isn't that a sign they're already under suspicion?
