[Maybe he will be poisoned and die in trial (no). He glaces at Ryo briefly.]

...Did I worry you?

[preordain]

It was a surprise to see.

[tearduct]

[So he did. Maybe.]

I'll be okay, Ryo. Even if I'm not Devilman.




[He sneezes.]

[preordain]

[ STARTS FUCKING SHOVING HIM TO THE DORMITORY. ]

[tearduct]

A--!

[WAHHHH.

He's going, he's going! Walking faster to the dorms before Ryo shoots him with one of his 984928 guns.]

I'm going, Ryo! Don't push!

[preordain]

You can't get sick days before people start killing each other.

[ how embarrassing would it be if you died because you were too busy sneezing to dodge?? ]

[tearduct]

[Damn, wow.]

Then you'd know who did it, right? Because I'd get them sick.

[no]

[preordain]

And then I'll shoot them in trial.

[ "you mean vote?" no. only midtrial. ]

[tearduct]

Ryo.

[AT LEAST PRETEND NOT TO BE TRIGGER HAPPY AND UNHINGED. He frowns over at Ryo.]

If you kill them, people would have to vote for someone else. Don't do that. You'll be the person they vote for, and you can't change anything if you don't win the contest.

[preordain]

[ hnnnn.

he sighs. ]

After it, then.

[tearduct]

After. The next day, like they make us do.

[Not after trial in the jail. Do not.]

I'll be fine. It's you I'm worried about.

[preordain]

[ he would 100% just shoot them in jail and then execution day would be awkward.

he frowns. ]

Why me?

[tearduct]

[RYOOOOO. I, personally, think this is fucking hilarious, but Akira would be mad.]

Because you won't let them do all the checks on you, and then people panic and focus on you instead of looking at the evidence they already have. You need to stop bringing all the weapons to trial.

[preordain]

If I leave them in my room and they do a room check, they'll find them. It's safer to keep them on me.

[ so obviously he will keep refusing to do the checks? ]

[tearduct]

[He's frowning because he still doesn't like it even if this is true.]

Leave them in my room then.

[preordain]

... I'll just make sure they have no reason to check me.

[ this solves nothing ]

I don't want them touching me.

[tearduct]

I'll check you, but you're the one who said we should be careful about that. Since they know we know each other.

[Whatever, it isn't like he isn't gonna try to keep them away from Ryo anyway.]

[preordain]

It's a little ridiculous, since if I did anything you'd be the first to accuse me if you thought I did it.

[ like

obviously THEY don't know that. but ryo does. ]

[tearduct]

[He glances at Ryo, expression a bit hurt by the accusation even if it may not be entirely false.]

They don't know what the two of us know. About us.

[preordain]

[ sometimes you have zero expectations that your crush would try to cover for you. it's fine. ]

... no, they don't. Although going by how this week has been going, I wouldn't be surprised if people have some sort of idea.

[ memshare sucks. ]

[tearduct]

[Right... Memshare. He frowns with realization.]

I wish it wasn't doing that.

[He has too many terrible things happen to him for it to be on display for every person he runs into.]

If you... If something like that happens, you need to tell me, Ryo, if you can.

[preordain]

[ he stops walking for a second, before continuing. ]

Are you sure?

[tearduct]

[The stopping surprises him into also slowing to a stop. For a long moment, he doesn't look at Ryo, trying to gauge whether he truly would want to know. On one hand, it'd give him a heads up of what to do, and they've seen--heard--the people offed are somewhere else.

On the other hand... he'd know... Ryo had done something not great to someone else.

He lifts his head to look at Ryo.]

Yeah.

[preordain]

[ the thing is, ryo is still sure that akira might still out him in the end, because akira is a good person. if there's ever a time where maybe more than one person killed, okay, that's a better chance. but if it was only ryo...

...

still. the offer is more than he expected, and his expressions soften in the tiny way it does when he's with just akira. ]

... well, I still don't have any plans to do anything like that, at least.

[tearduct]

[The fact I sweat more and more as Ryo falls more in love with Akira as every day passes.

The look on Ryo's face is one he hasn't seen in a little while, and it makes his heart hurt. Things felt so much simpler when they were both ignorant. The Tree of Knowledge is nothing except pain and suffering.]

Good. [But it makes him think about something else.] Do you know if there really is a limit? To how many can go. I haven't bothered asking.
