Anyone can lie.

[ray is a pessimistic binch, news at eleven]

Well, either way, I'll see about confirming it myself.

[usogi]

Be careful - I don't actually know if he's told anyone but me. Or are you going to ask Love directly?

[selfimmolates]

I'll try confirming it with Love first. Otherwise, I might just try and probe him directly. How'd you get him to 'fess up?

[usogi]

He said "my god has a lot of followers so I'm not worried" and I asked "do you not care if anyone knows you're with Love?" and he said "we know you're with Sincerity, so".

Like - he didn't even think that I was going to switch!

What am I supposed to do with that, Ray-kun! It's too pure!!

[selfimmolates]

Wow.

What an idiot.

[there are two very different opinions here,]

[usogi]

Please be nice, he barely knows anything!

[and that says something coming from senri]

I'm not sure if he gets how emotions work....

[selfimmolates]

And yet he's with Love, isn't he?

[usogi]

You're so mean... I said he doesn't know how they work, not that he doesn't feel them.

I think... he's just still learning to navigate.

[selfimmolates]

Regardless, I'm less concerned with his emotional intelligence and more about whether he could be useful or not.

Also, if he knows how to keep a secret.

[because hm this is not promising so far,]

[usogi]

[senri hums thoughtfully]

You could probably use him to get information out there - seems like he has no problem sharing it in public. Sorta like how he just chatted about Ruin...

It's sorta like Chuuya-san - I don't think I'd tell him anything about me, but he's endearing.... He can talk to other people.

[selfimmolates]

Endearing is not the word I'd have used for Chuuya.

[usogi]

Really? I think Chuuya-san could be pretty cool depending on who he was talking to....

Unsuspecting, then.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, I think we had very different experiences with the guy.

[usogi]

[okay he can't help but laugh]

People really do get scared of you, Ray-kun....

[selfimmolates]

Oh, he wasn't scared. I assume he didn't project his issues with his dead son onto you?

[usogi]

[holy fuck]

What.

[selfimmolates]

Yeah, he had a dead son. You didn't know?

[usogi]

No, that's.... Ah, of course he never mentioned anything like that to me.

[jesus christ]

[selfimmolates]

[he shrugs.]

It came up with me.

[usogi]

... sorry, that's - pretty weird and heavy.

[selfimmolates]

It was mostly annoying.

[because, again, projection.]

[usogi]

... yeah, I don't really blame you for feeling that way either.

[he shakes his head]

Well, that's definitely a weird relationship to have with Chuuya-san.

[selfimmolates]

I mean, he didn't think I was his dead son or anything. He was just annoyingly firm on his stance that children should be protected.

[usogi]

Like to the point that you couldn't make your own decisions kind of thing?

[selfimmolates]

Well, not that bad. Just stuff like how people my age shouldn't have to experience death or go through the hardships that adults are supposed to take care of, or whatever—even if reality isn't that kind.
