It's not like Chizuru to question another's gut instinct, really. Not unless it's really important. And sure, going home? That is really important - but since Chizuru can't be sure that going home is on the line here, she wouldn't dare to be rude enough to question its instincts here.
So as she just lets that settle, the girl instead turns her thoughts towards the question that's being asked of her here.
"There is a war going on back home," she explains. There's very little hesitation before she begins to speak - as if either Chizuru is foolishly honest, or she just doesn't mind sharing this in particular. "A whole lot of people important to me are fighting in it."
There's a tiny pause, but it mostly seems to serve as a time for her expression to drop as she thinks about the next part.
"I.. know that there is probably not much a single person can do to change the outcome of that." Despite how reckless Chizuru may have seemed here to it, it's not like she's totally dumb. She does know this much. "But if they all got hurt or worse, and if things could have been at least somewhat different if I had been there.."
She shakes her head. "Then I never would forgive myself for not having been there."
Maybe it's not what she misses, sure, but Chizuru knows that this is more important than the sentimentality of what she misses about home. Even though she does miss a lot.
