"Good... good," is all he says, falling into step with her, right at her side, so they can get through this maze. They'll be okay. Gustave has to believe that, so he tries to keep himself from slipping too far into that darkness. Playing with the coin, he looks over at her. "Heads or tails. For the next junction."
