.... did you get a second item for indulging yet? A bunch of us got the same ones - magnifying glasses that tell us about the rooms. I'm trying to talk with the Avatars to make sure we confirm which rooms on their floors don't have anything to do with them.
Uhhh.
[he swipes through his phone to try to find the list and then shows a picture he took to white of his own handwriting on a paper
Experimental Holding - First Floor - Despair
Medical Bay - Second Floor - Gluttony
Cargo - Third Floor - Pride
Observation Room - Fourth Floor - Greed
Life Support - Fifth Floor - Envy
Spa - Sixth Floor - Sloth
Confirmed:
Security Room
Research Room]
Takeru's asking the first three and I'm asking the second three... I have a lot to go over with them today anyway.

[he keeps his gaze trained on a point between a wall and the floor.]
Shouldn't that at least be something you think about first?
[especially if that belief is placed in someone like white.
he knows what he's like. it isn't as if there's no reason that, in his long life, only one other person has ever expressed that kind of faith in him.]

[ . . . mineo tilts his head and shifts to look at white, confused.]
Why? I told you weeks ago that I trust you - that means I trust you with everything. I'm not really good at doing stuff in half-measures...
And you haven't let me down so far. If anything, I feel like I've let you down...

[he shrugs a little]
I keep a lot more from you than I want to.... I know it sucks, to feel like you aren't being trusted with stuff - but a lot of what I get is actually second or third-hand.... so I'm not really allowed to share it out any further than that.
But... it's not because I don't trust you.
I still feel bad about it though - like I'm not doing right by you, the way I want to.

Not much to be done about it, right?
[there was a time, years ago, when he would've been more offended, and he can't deny it still stings sometimes when people lie to his face and admit as much later, but... well, he gets why others wouldn't want to trust him, at least.
(don't people say that if something happens once, you can blame the other party—but if it happens again and again, you're the problem?)]

[ . . . he shakes his head.]
That's not really the case, I don't think. At least here - I can at least reassure you that I do trust you. If we didn't have to deal with all this murder mystery stuff... it'd be different.
[he would be a lot more giving about what he could say, and he would never have to hide anything from white.
he thinks a lot of things would be different if they didn't meet here, of all places.]

It's not about managing your emotions.
[if he's being honest? it's not because he thinks white will be hurt by anything he does, if anything he thinks white is way too understanding]
I just want to acknowledge that I want to be better to you than I am, and you deserve more than what I'm stuck giving.
