You didn't do anything. Stop thinking about this.

[usogi]

I haven't stopped thinking about this...

[selfimmolates]

That's more of a you problem than anything.

[usogi]

I think it's an us problem.

[BECAUSE RAY STILL HASN'T TOLD HIM]

So was my guess wrong?

[selfimmolates]

There's nothing to guess about.

[usogi]

There totally is! I'm super worried about you.

You know that feeling where the parent goes 'I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed'? You're totally putting out those vibes now.

[selfimmolates]

You're being a moron.

[usogi]

I'm being honest... Something's changed between us and I don't get it.

So I'm trying to make it unchange.

[selfimmolates]

[that's the thing, though.

things did "unchange".]

Just focus on what you need to do, idiot.

[usogi]

This is what I need to do....

[selfimmolates]

[SIGHS]

It's really not...

[usogi]

It is.

I'm not good at leaving my friends alone....

[selfimmolates]

You're overthinking things. I'm fine.

[usogi]

.... I'm going to keep trying, okay?

So you can trust me.

I want you to win... and I hope you believe me when I say that.

[selfimmolates]

Considering we're not even aligned with the same god, that's a moot point.

[usogi]

Not right now - but by the end of the game that could change. I just couldn't go to Love because it'd be too obvious.

[selfimmolates]

... Fine, I believe you.

[usogi]

.... okay.

Please rely on me too, when you can.

[this is actually killing him? his eyes are still pretty sad, even as he gives ray a smile]

I finally talked to Disorder too or - she came to find me.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah? What'd she say?

[usogi]

Someone misled Sincerity with the rumor of a pact between her and Ruin to destroy Sincerity first.

And then Sincerity misled me on accident - he believed it was true, or else he wouldn't have been able to say it....

So it ended up making her unhappy that I spread it during trial.

[selfimmolates]

She sure is eager to fix her reputation.

[usogi]

.... I really need to find out more about her.

[his brow furrows]

Because I want to believe her - and I'm going to keep trying, but anything I say comes from her obviously needs to be taken with a grain of salt. They know enough about me that I think they wouldn't hesitate to poke at my weaknesses to get me to let my guard down.

I'm still going to try to be her friend, but if there's a way to know if we can actually trust her... I think that'd be smart.

[selfimmolates]

The same goes any god, you know.

[usogi]

Sure, but just like they all used to be people, I don't think they're all out to get us or anything. There's good people and bad people - or good people with worse traits than others.

I know who I've decided to trust at least.

[selfimmolates]

[he just shrugs.]
