[It's weird, he actually looks surprised. And then his face falls, and he turns his head away, frowning, his face somewhat pained. Maybe the curse. It's not that he isn't grateful.

But pleading Mizuki into it, and then having to make so many switches... just for him. He's spared while so many others never had the opportunity, and he's the one who took someone's life.]

You didn't have to... for me.

[usogi]

Of course I did, stupid. I would've done the same thing if it was Ishirin-san or Taka. It's the only way that I can protect the people that I know how to protect.

[to broker these deals, to figure out how to make things work. asking favors, making trades, building relationships - is the only thing that senri can do]

... I have a request in exchange. Since it's not the end yet.

[moralmyopia]

[Slowly, he lifts his head and glances back. His brows furrow.]

What do you want that I could even give?

[usogi]

... I know it kind of breaks a tradition, but... please stay with Merriment this week. Taka won't go no matter what, and while I'm glad for that...

I don't want him to have All Nighter alone. I'd... be way too nervous. I can't even use Battle Armor on him...

[moralmyopia]

[A weak, wry twist comes to the corner of his lips.]

I wasn't going to change anyway unless I was forced. I still have one more week I have to protect you, and Takaomi, and Ishikirimaru.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri visibly relaxes at that]

... thank you. [ . . . but.] There's no way that I can convince you to take the brooch from me?

[moralmyopia]

[He frowns again. He remembers how upset Senri was about... helping. Being useless. He looks down for a moment, then back up.]

I'll take it if you'll shut up.

[But then that just means he has the brooch he can give to Takaomi (and maybe Senri) in a time of desperation if anything should happen.

Because he would.]

[usogi]

[hmmm don't like that

senri pauses]

... I'll hold onto it for now, but the four of us need to talk about who gets to have it this week. I'm glad that you're at least open to the idea.

There's one last thing...

[moralmyopia]

[????????]

Then don't ask me to take it if you're just going to keep it and pawn it off on someone else. [DAMN. Why is he being doxxed this way.] Mm.

What?

[usogi]

I asked if there was a way to convince you - I'm just happy to know that there is.

[he's rude, actually]

... Taka thinks you only talk to him because you care about me. He thinks you only want to come to Japan for me.

Please don't let him keep thinking that.

[moralmyopia]

And how do you know he isn't wrong? I don't even know him like I know you. He doesn't talk to me, and anytime he did, he would get weird and leave.

Maybe I am only going there for you.

[usogi]

[ . . . . .

wh]

Please stop making it weird.

[moralmyopia]

Tch. [He doesn't seem hurt this time around.] And it isn't weird you are only begging me to go back with you? He hasn't even asked me to go with the two of you.

The only one who has asked me about going home with them, if we even can, is you.

[usogi]

[ . . . and senri just sighs]

... you both do this. That's the problem....

Neither of you were interested in making connections with people here. Taka's bad at it in general, and you actively avoided making friends. You were busy playing to try the villain for weeks...

He cares - he wants you to have a chance at a peaceful life too.

You two need to stop expecting the other to be the first to break.

[moralmyopia]

[The only thing he can really do is make a face. Senri is right, and Senri should say it (but he doesn't think so).]

We're just not interested when... [He sighs, looks away. If it had been week one, he would've been that cruel maybe. But now, it just feels weird.] Fine.

We'll... talk or something.

[usogi]

... you should've been talking a while ago, but better late than never.

[smh]

You're both important to me, but honestly you'd get along even if I wasn't in the picture. You just need to realize that.

[moralmyopia]

Alright, alright.

[They just don't want to admit it, shut up. They don't know each other well outside of, like... two personal instances.]

Are you finished talking my ear off?

[usogi]

I've barely said anything. We normally chat a lot more than this?

[LITERALLY THEY TALK SO OFTEN]

[moralmyopia]

[he is trying so desperately to dodge the taka talk]

Do we? I don’t notice.

[he

notices]

[usogi]

Stop being difficult....

[sasuke is always difficult]

Are you still extra moody because of the curse?

[moralmyopia]

Mn.

[If he is or isn't, he doesn't say on purpose. He probably is; his face feels like it's splitting open. It's fine. He just wants to die at the moment, honestly. Monday can't come soon enough.]

[usogi]

[ . . . hmm. senri just pouts at that]

... it's almost over. Sorry you have to go through this.

I still haven't figured out who could've done it... Either Hiro-kun or Ludger....?

[moralmyopia]

It doesn't matter. Forget it already.

[He sighs.]

I got Love to lessen it anyway.

[usogi]

Mm, that's what I thought.

[IT DIDN'T SEEM THAT BAD AFTER THAT FIRST WEDNESDAY]

You're talking to her more then? That's good news! She's really cute and sweet, isn't she?

[moralmyopia]

[Yeah, he kissed you after he went to Love, you absolute dumbass.]

Don't get ahead of yourself. I've only spoken to her twice. This was the second time.

[Geez. He's avoiding Love like the plague, okay.]
