Just remember that you're not the deciding factor here, Senri.

You're not here to convince everyone. You can give them the option, and then they decide.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just sighs]

A performer should be able to get people to listen to them....

[and he presses his face against taka's shoulder]

... you're right. You and Cheri are both right. It's not... on me... but - I guess I just wanted to make a persuasive case...

[bakaomi]

A performer can get someone to listen to them, but what the audience takes away from the performance is up to themselves, isn't it?

[ he kisses senri's hair ]

Two people can watch the same show and both love it, but it might only become one of theirs favorite. That doesn't make your performance any less powerful, it just means it connected with one person a little more than the other.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just nods quietly at that, closing his eye as he presses against taka as if just having him closer is all senri needs to feel better]

.... there's just... a lot of really important wishes.

That's still all I want... If convincing everyone to believe in Bambi would get them all, I'd do that in a heartbeat. But if it can only happen through Piety...

... that's what I think, anyway. I'm going to feel bad if something goes wrong but....

[ . . . ]

My wish already came true. I'll be okay no matter what.

[bakaomi]

If it doesn't go as planned then it's not your fault. People are unpredictable.

[ his grip tightens on senri. ]

You did well.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just sighs]

... we'll see.

I'm not going to start counting until after we find out what happens tonight. I'll still do my best.

[bakaomi]

... mm.

Depending on how the weekend goes, it could change a lot.

[usogi]

[senri nods quietly]

... I have Above Suspicion, at least, so...

[he'll reach up to wrap his arms around taka's neck and pull him closer, so that senri can lift his head and press their lips together quietly]

... Please be safe, so I can still be next to you tomorrow.

[bakaomi]

I told you, we're both making it to the very end.

[ because even with the guaranteed revival in place, the last thing taka wants to happen in this game is for senri to die, even temporarily. ]

[usogi]

I believe you.

[but don't mind senri if he just

kisses taka again anyway, as if to seal it with a kiss]

... just a few more days.

[bakaomi]

And then we'll be home.

[ home, with a head full of trauma and a heart full of love, it's fine. ]

So let's do our best til then.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just hums softly]

Mm. As long as I have you, I'll be able to keep moving forward.

[so it's fine if they just cuddle in bed for a while - they have some time before curfew still]

... sorry about earlier. I'm not mad at you anymore. I still don't think it was your fault - or you didn't mean to hurt anyone.

[bakaomi]

... it'll be okay if you were still mad.

[ taka's still angry at himself about it, after all. ]

[usogi]

No... I don't really get what your relationship with him is like, but you'd never go out of your way to hurt someone that badly just to be mean.

[taka WOULD jump to conclusions and say some pretty scathing things but

uhhh his relationship with senri is also a little different]

It was just an accident, right?

[bakaomi]

Mm. ... I knew that something I said or did really bothered him, but he kept refusing to admit I had anything to do with it, and that annoyed me. I prefer when people just admit to that kind of thing.

[ so he handled it like he would have handled senri, which

did not work ]

[usogi]

... well, his specialty is secrets and all. I think that his emotions are the most well-protected secret of all, when he doesn't want to share them with people.

[senri just sounds fond and exasperated at the same time]

He's not as easy to anger as I am... so he probably wanted to keep up a good relationship with you no matter what.

[sounds familiar]

[bakaomi]

[ ugh

he's quiet, considering that...

and then he just sighs. ]

We'll see how it goes.

[usogi]

[senri settles for kissing taka's cheek]

... mm.

Thank you for trying to make things better.

You're doing well, too.

[bakaomi]

You can always come to me when things are hard, even if I might call you an idiot.

[ he does it out of love ]

[usogi]

[senri just laughs quietly at that, giving him another kiss - though he might nip at his lips a bit]

... I know. You always deal with me the most out of everyone.

You know that you can do the same, right?

[bakaomi]

[ he unfortunately smiles at that, please don't start making out we are so close to a thread where that doesn't happen ]

... I depend on you a lot already.

[usogi]

[why do they kiss so much]

... you can always depend on me even more than that, Taka.

[just so he knows, and senri will nuzzle against his cheek idly]

I'm here for you - through everything.

[bakaomi]

... I know.

[ he sounds so fond ]

I trust you more than anyone.

[usogi]

[and senri just laughs quietly at that]

Really? Even though I'm not your immediate understanding soulmate?

I don't mind - I like Jack a lot too.

[bakaomi]

... the kind of affinity I have with him is different from the kind I have with you.

[ he kisses him. ]

But you're the one who understands me the most.
