.... I can't - but that's because we're different! We argue about a lot of things, because we don't agree!

[ . . . ]

I don't - have to pretend to agree with you...

[taka's like the only person he can consistently argue with]

[bakaomi]

There are other people you don't agree with.

[ but senri doesn't fight with them, he just smiles and finds a way to keep everything going well. ]

[usogi]

I normally just let Hari be Hari, or I tell other people that they make a good point and I changed my mind instead....

[so he

lies to keep the peace

or it's just touji being touji and no one can stop that]

[bakaomi]

[ he doesn't touch the touji thing because like

taka does the same thing there lbr the guy's a hurricane ]

But you gave up on that really quickly with me.

[ senri pretending to like the burger curtains for 0.2 seconds ]

[usogi]

You didn't even try to be nice to me. I didn't like you from the very beginning - you didn't need to tell Yumapi and me to move when you were walking by.

I thought you were a sheltered, annoying rich kid.

[senri fucking hates rich people but taka's attitude made it worse]

[bakaomi]

You were in the way.

[ THEY REALLY FUCKING WEREN'T ]

[usogi]

—this is why you make me so mad! You could try for even two seconds to be mindful of other people, even a little bit!

[bakaomi]

There's nothing more annoying than people just standing in the goddamn middle of a walkway! People have places to go!

[ HE COULD HAVE MOVED AROUND THEM ]

[usogi]

It was a giant walkway. You could've swerved two steps to the right and not have had to make Yumapi feel bad.

[and made senri angry,,]

[bakaomi]

He got over it.

You obviously did not.

[usogi]

Yumapi isn't a good gauge for normal people's patience....

[bakaomi]

That was months ago. Get over it, obsessive rabbit.

[usogi]

That's how I first met you, you know?

[senri frowns.]

First impressions are important to me.

[bakaomi]

Why?

[ just

why. ]

[usogi]

They're important! Building relationships with people is really important, it's how you get anywhere in the world.

[it's not what you know, it's who you know]

And keeping people happy is nice? Don't you like it when people are smiling...?

[bakaomi]

Not when it's because of a lie.

[ and that's just what this constant flattery is, isn't it? empty words that are only there to paint a pretty picture and a good impression.

it's annoying to watch him. ]

[usogi]

.... no one gets hurt.

[senri sighs deeply. he told this to yuma before, and yuma had believed it so easily. he doesn't know if the same could be said for takaomi.]

No one has to know if I haven't read a book they liked, or if I was lying about a movie....

[bakaomi]

And what if they find out? You've been caught in your lies before, dumbass. You were just lucky that they let you get away with it.

[ please let them take off the face masks i beg you ]

[usogi]

[no]

Most of my lies aren't like that - they don't rely so much on other people. That was hard, but even then, I almost got to leave Black Dorm.... Ah Ryugasaki-senpai is so difficult.

[ . . . . ]

I'm the only person who has to deal with my lies. But I'd prefer that people think well of me. I want them to, and I want to make them happy and give them what they want.

[bakaomi]

[ he has to pause for a second and take a deep breath. ]

... that's why we're going to keep arguing.

[ because that kind of relationship is too fragile to hold, and taka can't really bring himself to try to keep it together if it falls apart. ]

[usogi]

[ . . . . .

senri shrugs.]

I lie to you less, you know.

[bakaomi]

But you still do it.

[ taka's problem is that he doesn't share, and that's because he doesn't like letting anyone in. and senri doesn't either, really, even if their methods and reasonings are different. they really do have a lot more similarities than they like to admit.

but taka doesn't share, and he doesn't know how to deal with emotions or other people properly, and he purposely scares people away from him. but he tries not to lie. ]

[usogi]

... yeah.

[he admits that. and it's hard here.]

... what if I promise that I won't lie to you about anything important?

Even if it's not about this game, since I already don't lie to you there. And... I can try back home.

[because he doesn't know if he can stop himself from every lie, as much as he'd like to - but he wants to try]

[bakaomi]

[ the irony of a liar promising not to lie

taka, at least, doesn't point that out. ]

... let's just get through the game.

[ before making promises about home, when taka isn't even sure if senri would still be around. ]

[usogi]

[senri's expression turns irritated for a second - before he huffs out a breath.]

... I get that you're bad with people.

But things aren't going to get any better if I'm the only one trying to get along with you.
