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

[usogi]

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

[selfimmolates]

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.]

[usogi]

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.

[selfimmolates]

That's a low standard.

But yeah, we'll see.

[usogi]

[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.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, I got it.

[usogi]

[and senri nods, offering up a smile]

I knew you would.

Thanks, Ray-kun. Make sure you stay safe too, please.

[selfimmolates]

I'll do what I can.

[usogi]

Make sure you rely on Taka and Ishirin-san too!

[selfimmolates]

Where is this coming from...?

[usogi]

I didn't have to worry last week since you stayed in with me and Sasuke but...

I always get worried, when you all have to go.

[selfimmolates]

I've made my choices. I'll accept whatever the potential consequences might be.

So, you just focus on not regretting yours.

[usogi]

..... you're so serious on everything.....

[selfimmolates]

You're the one who made things serious first.

[usogi]

That's true.

[and then senri will just

PULL RAY INTO A HUG BEFORE HE CAN SAY OTHERWISE]

Then I'll see you tomorrow, Ray-kun!

[selfimmolates]

[WHAT THE]
