[ haha it's just big tired hours. he'll take the offered hand even if he doesn't need help, settling down with a little "oof" and breathing in deeply. ]
Hey.
[ unhappily just keeping this hand now. it's his. ]
[ you may have it. the knuckles have been healed, but they were previously busted up and it's obvious. he rubs his thumb against the side of eiden's hand. ]
Wondering whether froggystyle killed Simon or Setsu.
[ taking in a slow, deep breath through his teeth, before he puts his cigarette out in the dirt next to him. ]
Probably. I don't think Livio said what he did for no reason. Simon could've betrayed Lao Fukuzawa's trust in him, and taken him out - and the dead sent word to not trust him, to be a Justice anti.
Yukichi had an item... one that could influence someone. Coerce them to do one thing. He offered to use it for me if I found out who killed Shenhe and Lambda.
I turned it down because I didn't want to inflict anything like that on anyone.
Fei Du's read on him was that he wasn't a genuine person. Based off his emotions that he felt, during their mission, and general interactions with him. That he was a liar.
He certainly thought we could go fuck ourselves, in the end.
Yukichi... he'd just come from a point in time where everyone working under him was considered a fugitive and a criminal. It was due to an ability... one that could change the course of events in history.
[ he looks down into his lap ]
He was loyal to them even when he was taken in for interrogation and killed.
... That's why I think he trusted Justice more than anything. That's why he would have defended Simon to the end. And that's why he probably gave him the coercion item after I told him I didn't want it.
[ his brow furrows and he presses his lips together in a thin line. his fingers dig into his palms. ]
I know it's foolish, but the man had his convictions and his reasons. I could only respect them even if I disagreed with them...

[ gives a small squeeze to his hand. ]
Trying to empty your mind after all that, or are you thinking, too?

And how I'm pretty sure he's responsible for two of the murders from last week.

[ he looks down at his hands ]
I have a theory and it's one I really hate.
no subject
of course he follows the theory to its destination. ]
You think Simon used it on him, to kill the princess.
no subject
I do. So frankly, Simon can go and fuck himself.
