[ . . . . senri just shakes his head and presses his face into taka's shoulder again]

... it's not enough.

No matter what I give people to start, it's not enough. If... If I had Ray-kun around, or Jude-kun, or Zo - they could've fit together all the pieces I couldn't get to click, I bet.

[and he's blinking back tears again]

You don't know that.

And you're not the only person in trial, Senri. It's not your job to figure out everything on your own.

[usogi]

[senri pauses at that

and falters, if only because... he's used to doing so much on his own]

.... it's easier to focus on myself, than expect everyone else to do better.

[bakaomi]

But we all need to do better.

[ every single one of them. ]

Like Catra was right. I've been with Merriment for the longest, and I haven't prevented a single murder from happening. I've done nothing useful. So I need to be better than what I am.

[senri pauses at that - and automatically shakes his head.]

No way. If you hadn't seen what happened at the carnival, you wouldn't have been able to tell Ishirin-san, and Mizuki-san wouldn't have been able to keep us on track.

If you weren't there to save Ruin from Luna, we wouldn't have even been able to get the person who hurt Fortune in the first place.

If you hadn't come up with the code with Ray-kun, and been able to tell us what all the symbols meant, we could've been in even worse trouble.

I wouldn't know half of the things that I do - without you. I wouldn't have found the other Ambitions, if it wasn't for you.

[ it looks like he's about to say something, but then he closes his mouth and lets a moment pass. ]

I could say the same thing about you.

I would have never told Ishikirimaru or Ray anything if it wasn't for you. I'd probably still have been doing all of that by myself, and I could be dead right now, if it wasn't for your influence.

You brought so many people together who may not have done so on your own. You've given us information and motivation. Just because you haven't done every single thing perfectly doesn't mean you've failed.
