anyway senri is just going to nod, because he's happy to hear that his favorite baby has good company in another baby.
as he speaks, he counts off on his fingers and draws lines in the air as if he's trying to draw it out so he can personally follow along]
Five Ambitions total last week - I knew three. Catra-san, Ludger-kun, Shang-san. Two Loves were hit by Advancement Opportunity, but one Love organized a switched with another alignment, so Love should still have two. For some reason she has three. Sasuke left Sincerity, there should've only been me. Cunning lost a follower to a swap, Guy-san is still aligned with him, so is one other person that I've confirmed. But for some reason he's still at three.
Shang-san is still with Ambition - that accounts for one. There's still one unknown.
So that means three of the other Ambition followers had to have gone to Love, Sincerity, and Cunning.
Alignments I'm missing this week are Catra-san, Ludger-kun, Hiro-kun, Entrapta-chan, and Alex. They have to fall into the slots of one Ambition, one Sincerity, one Love, one Cunning, one Disorder.
But everyone else... I think I know where they are.
[ . . . he looks up at Connor.]
I can't share everyone's alignments unless I'm given a reason, because I don't want to betray their trust in me.... but if Connor-san ever needs to know, you can ask me privately. I trust you.
... I could ask Entrapta about her alignment. I believe she's... fond of me, and may answer honestly. [Hm.] I could attempt asking Ludger, as well. But I'm not nearly as close to Catra, Hiro and Alex. Perhaps you should ask someone they've spoken to frequently in the past.
[He pauses, thinking...]
I won't ask you to betray their trust. But is there anyone else in this competition who's aware of as many alignments as you?
... only if you want to, and if it comes up naturally. There are already some people who are going to seek them out, and I don't want it to look too suspicious. I'm not asking for anyone's alignments anymore. It'd look off, after last trial. And I don't want anyone to get an idea that I'm digging for information.
[ . . . even though he, you know, is.
though at the question he'll just sigh quietly and offer up a smile, tired.]
... not without Ray-kun. It's just me, for now. I'm a little scared, that the new Sincerity might try to use Word Vomit on me. But I'm protected against Beauty's Eye of the Beholder now. So for now... there's no way for everyone's alignments to get spilled, unless I'm cursed.
[ . . . ]
If Word Vomit does happen, I'll try to start with the alignments people have made obvious themselves. But if I start listing, please knock me out before I get very far.
If that ever happens... You can count on me. I'll be more gentle than I was with Guy.
[Because, let's face it, Senri does not deserve to get punched in the face by 180lbs of plastic and metal.]
Have you prepared for the eventuality of your death, as well? [Not sugarcoating it.] I'm... concerned that we may find ourselves in a similar situation as last trial's.
I'm doing that this week, because I don't.... Ray-kun told me a lot, but I'm always scared he didn't tell me enough. And I'm scared of everything I don't know. [he'll pull out his phone, which has a shiny new case on it] Indulgence gave me this case - it's pretty indestructible, and everything I know is on this. I've collected some thumb prints from people who I trust with the information, and if something happens to them....
[which takes senri a second to process]
Beauty will send out letters, and share my phone passcode to people as I ask.
[He listens to Senri's explanation, taking that information in, before he nods. Though there's a hint of relief to his expression, he doesn't sound all that happy about having contingency plans for his friend's death.]
... Good. Then we should be prepared for any eventuality.
[Even if he doesn't like it.]
How many individuals have you told about your phone? If you're killed, and it goes missing... You're aware of what that would mean.
[He's not saying backstabbing will happen, but he's saying backstabbing could happen.]
... I'll be as careful as I can, but just in case - there's three people who have first dibs. They're the ones that I trust more than anything in this game, and I really believe that they'll do everything they can to help me try to get as many people to win as possible.
They might not be ready to share everything - there's... um, a lot, that could put people at risk like their alignments... but I'm sure they won't use the information to hurt anyone.

[He won't talk about his people skills or try to bring up his assessment of him again. But he will offer him a faint smile in return.]
Thank you for all your hard work. I don't believe I've expressed my gratitude before.
no subject
Senri falters a little bit at that - before managing a small, sheepish smile]
... that's nothing you need to thank me for, Connor-san. I'm... just doing my best. But thank you for noticing, and saying so.
