[ he doesn't quite ruffle his hair, but it's a near thing the way he puts his hand on tsukasa's head.
"you were helping with the games and i would rather you stay safe. we're all fine, everybody's back and healed... everything else we can figure out." ]
[ he finds this a little funny because he's so used to being yu's voice half the time. ]
I appreciate it. The last time I lost something it was for a week, so... it could be a while. Hopefully not though. Plus we have a lot of other people who probably need an extra hand.
[ he'll just tug on his arm so they can start walking back toward the house. this is now going to be a thread of him writing and waving a notebook in tsukasa's face. ]
Man... I don't even really know where to start, you know? There's so many of them, plus what happened with like Won and Edamura-san.
[ the look on his face says he absolutely loathes the idea of taking it slow. he's fine!!! he just can't yap. ]
It sounds like they were still two different groups. So my next question is how the hell did THAT happen? It can't hurt to have multiple people checking on all of them.
It's possible. We only have one sin left and we should hit that part of the maze tomorrow. After that though... we still have to find everyone else. If this happens next week... I don't know how we're gonna fix it.
No, you and me both. We've come this far, the path has to be a lot clearer than it was at the start. The only thing left to tackle is greed. I can't even figure out what that looks like though.
I guess, but I wonder if that's considered greed or ambition. Or maybe they're the same? Charity's not a bad virtue. Knowing how these mazes work we're going to end up in situations where we either give parts of ourselves we aren't anticipating, or taking things we didn't know we wanted.
no subject
except all he does is flash him a thumbs up. yeah, he's fine. all healed! ]
no subject
Just to be sure.]
no subject
hi? what are we doing? ]
no subject
He is looking Yosuke over very carefully--
And then he breathes out a relieved sigh, shoulders slumping as he hangs his head.]
Thank goodness... you jumped in there and--there was so much blood and...!
no subject
"yeah... probably not my finest moment, but i had to do something."
but he's fine! he didn't die? so it's okay. ]
no subject
No, no, I... I admire that you jumped in there to help!
[It isn't as though I could do anything, after all...]
But still... I'm really glad you're okay.
no subject
"you were helping with the games and i would rather you stay safe. we're all fine, everybody's back and healed... everything else we can figure out." ]
no subject
... Yes, of course. I just--
[A beat.]
Hang on.
As much as the thought thing is convenient right now, Yosuke, you haven't said a word--?
no subject
anyway yeah he sort of smiles and shrugs. YEAH. YEAH......
... yeah, he's not thrilled. ]
no subject
...!!!
Wait, it can't really--]
From the river?
no subject
It's temporary, but this is already gonna be a pain in the ass.
[ being calm about it is mostly just a cope. ]
no subject
A sigh. Tsukasa rubs the back of his neck.]
I understand now.
[...]
If there is anything I can do to assist for as long as this lasts, please let me know! I would be happy to act as your voice in any possible way!
no subject
I appreciate it. The last time I lost something it was for a week, so... it could be a while. Hopefully not though.
Plus we have a lot of other people who probably need an extra hand.
no subject
[Firmly.]
Them, and you. I'm confident that we'll be able to help everyone, so there's no need to worry.
no subject
Man... I don't even really know where to start, you know? There's so many of them, plus what happened with like Won and Edamura-san.
no subject
Tsukasa is definitely squinting at said notebook every time he does so.]
You should start by taking it slow.
And I will start by helping out whoever needs it. I'll check in with everyone and ask them what they need.
no subject
It sounds like they were still two different groups.
So my next question is how the hell did THAT happen?
It can't hurt to have multiple people checking on all of them.
no subject
He can just not yap now, but--he did get a chunk taken out of him earlier.]
I really don't know... I wonder if it is because we're getting closer to the heart of the maze.
no subject
It's possible. We only have one sin left and we should hit that part of the maze tomorrow.
After that though... we still have to find everyone else. If this happens next week... I don't know how we're gonna fix it.
no subject
Right. He needs to get it together.
It is moments like these when he's supposed to do everything he can to be the most reassuring, isn't it?]
If it happens next week, we'll figure out how to resolve it then! Just as we will in the aftermath of all of this.
I... refuse to believe that we would stumble so close to the finish line. No, I'm positive that we simply won't!
no subject
The only thing left to tackle is greed.
I can't even figure out what that looks like though.
[ which is also annoying. ]
no subject
[He tilts his head from side to side as he thinks that over.]
Well, I don't believe being greedy is necessarily a bad thing in some circumstances. So! Perhaps that will be promising.
no subject
And what's the opposite of greed anyway? Giving?
[ the word is charity you idiot. ]
no subject
What is the harm in being greedy for what you want and are striving for?
[So... so, there is that!]
I suppose the opposite would be charity, yes. Which is also a wonderful virtue!
no subject
Charity's not a bad virtue. Knowing how these mazes work we're going to end up in situations where we either give parts of ourselves we aren't anticipating, or taking things we didn't know we wanted.
