I just figured you weren't trusting people with your alignment so you couldn't reasonably convince anyone to join you. Then Love fell out of the lead so it was even harder to make an excuse for it.

[senri shrugs]

Sasuke's only with Sincerity to help protect all of you this week anyway.

And he'll be going back to Justice if you can't convince him.

He might be doing that anyway. He really likes him. I'm still going to try....

But I'll see how he feels about his wish. If he... really changed his mind about it, I don't know if I'll be able to get him to go to Piety.

[ . . . he sighs quietly]

That's up to him. I'll still do my best, though. I can't ask him to keep making sacrifices for me anyway.

[...]

Good luck with him, then, and don't make me regret not killing him.

Oh, you don't have to worry about him betraying us.

He's given up on pretending like he's the harbinger of chaos, at least.

I'm going to maintain a certain level of skepticism until the end of this competition, regardless.

Yeah, but I figure you'll do that with anyone and everyone.

Sasuke in particular. I've already told you: he and I are too similar.

[and ray himself is one of the least trustworthy people he knows, really.]

I guess so. I think he's gotten softer - at the very least, he wouldn't do anything that would put the people I care about at risk.

[senri is at least vaguely aware that sasuke has gotten kind soft for him]

But we'll see.

That's a low standard.

But yeah, we'll see.

[senri shrugs idly]

I don't think anything's going to happen to me... but if something does, that's the plan I'll have been moving toward. As long as you all know, I hope it can come true.
