There's no need to fear the past. The past is just a memory.

[silicone]

That... there's a very large possibility one team did both.

Please keep this between us.

[allmenare]

I will. But can you tell me which team it is?

[They framed one of his people. He has to know.]

[silicone]

I'm sorry, I need to keep this quiet for now. I say I'm 100% sure, but maybe it's more like 99.9% with the 0.1% being that we still don't know what amounts of points we might get.

[ he looks like he really wants to, but he promised himself this. ] I have to check again next week to get a feel for things. If I'm still here next week... I'll tell you. Okay? That's the best I can do. And -

[ he kind of shifts uncomfortably ] if I'm not. Then I'll make sure I leave something behind for you, okay?

Because I know you're just as upset about Simon, believe me I know, but please understand. I hate keeping secrets, but this is one I have to keep, okay?

[allmenare]

[He doesn't look happy about this. But he trusts Eiden. He has to trust him. This is so important to Fukuzawa, he needs to know who's hurting his team so much, but...he can wait. It's just one more week.

He breathes out a sigh before speaking.]

For what it's worth, the reapers did say that Justice was unusually good at earning points in non-murder ways. So there are other ways of earning them. But they did also say that those ways will not compare to murder. If you saw someone at the top of the list, they did kill.

[allmenare]

I wouldn't forget it, not ever.

[Even when this is over and they go home, he'll still remember it.]

[silicone]

[ he nods quietly. ]

I know... I know that much. They at least killed once, but so have a few other teams. They could even be good at earning points in non-lethal ways and just got bumped because someone died or didn't do enough on Wednesday.

[ he bites his lip quietly, like he's trying to find the words to say. ]

I'm just trying to be responsible... you know?

[allmenare]

Torture?

[WHAT]

[allmenare]

So Sweet Theory or Yuneyuze?

[He's keeping track of this stuff, BDSM died too.]

[silicone]

It's nothing too bad.

[ it's kuya ]

Kuya just likes to play weird games.

[silicone]

[ pinches his chest gently ]

Stop trying to guess, I'm not telling you.

[allmenare]

[HIS CHEST???]

I'm saying, based on your words, it's one of those two teams.

[silicone]

I'll let you think whatever you like.

[ YEAH HIS CHEST like right on the pec. ]

[allmenare]

[OW???]

I just want to be prepared, if I find myself awake on Thursday.

[allmenare]

Is Kuya an animal spirit of some kind?

[Fukuzawa assigning Kuya as the Rang.]

[silicone]

Heh, yeah... he's a fox yokai.

[silicone]

[ IT WAS GENTLE ]

Don't say that. It's not like it'd help... whoever is out there might be different. Especially if it's a matter of feeling like they have no other choice.

[allmenare]

Figures.

[He looks disgruntled.]

[silicone]

What's that face for?

[allmenare]

It may be, and if that's what happens then I'll figure out what to do then.

But if that's who I wake up with at any point, I'm not going to let someone continuously murder all in some misguided try at winning this game.

[allmenare]

I don't like the thought of someone hurting you. Especially not someone important to you.

[Remember, he's an assassin. Torture means something different to him.]

[silicone]

I know. I'm not trying to protect anyone if that's what you mean.

[ he shifts his hands down and just

grips his tightly. he looks so fucking torn and uncomfortable and unhappy in general and he really doesn't want to say anything, okay. he really doesn't. ]

Take a good think about who spoke up the loudest about us at trial, Yukichi. Who was quick to point the finger when we were floundering.

[ and then he lets go. ]

Don't say anything, okay? Please. And don't act out about it either. Unless you find yourself awake with them.

[silicone]

Oh...

[ soft and reaches out to touch his cheek a little. correcting himself: ]

It's... It's not like that kind of torture. He's just a pain in my ass. Got my ass in deep trouble one time, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

[ slowly. gradually. ]

It's a matter of trust at the end of the day. And I trust him.

[allmenare]

[He squints, trying to remember.]

...it was mostly froggystyle and yuneyuze. So that's the answer, is it?

[silicone]

[ he doesn't say anything! he already gave him something he didn't want to! ]

[allmenare]

[Oh, soft touches.]

I still don't like the sound of him, but if you trust him then that will have to be enough.

[Look he's too protective of his people.]
