[ . . . . he just sighs.]

So you walked out of it hating everybody a bit more - is what you're saying?

[enfangs]

Eh, not me, personally. But it sure looked like a lot of you were getting on each other's nerves.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . .

he looks away

because yes he was || this close to decking steven]

[enfangs]

[he shrugs.]

... Hey, I would've supported if you ended up decking someone. The idea of justice is pretty much a universal joke, anyway.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

.... is it...?

[he just sounds. more than a little lost, like he just wants someone to tell them what the fuck it really means, in a way he can understand.

he shakes his head.]

.... there was already enough going on. [molly and beau sure did brawl and people were having their own crises] But I can't say I won't do it next time.

[he really is a hothead even if takes MURDER and JUSTICE to provoke it out of him]

[enfangs]

[well.

white is probably not the best person to get an unbiased opinion of justice from.]

Maybe beat 'em up outside of those nine hours if you gotta get it out of your system, though. Endorsi was saying stuff about making better use of our time.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just

runs a hand through his hair in agitation]

We shouldn't be stuck with just nine hours in the first place.... That's the first flaw. Initial investigation, sure, but at least a week....!

[that's not happening]

[enfangs]

Pretty sure we're throwing out any standard investigative procedures or whatever out the window here. You're just going to have to live with it.

[sengokus]

It's a twisted joke is what it is.

[why even pretend you want justice when all you want is to make a fucking mess

but he just

sighs in agitation]

.... fine. We can. I mean - half of the people didn't want to participate anyway.

[he taps his fingers on the counter]

We should jump into looking for clues right away. Too much shit was found late - like the skull, what the hell?

[enfangs]

Still got no clue what that was about.

[sengokus]

Me fucking neither.

[he sounds like he's just

stuck in disbelief]

How the hell do people get anything done with supernatural stuff around....?!

[enfangs]

[dryly,]

Pretty sure they don't.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he thinks back on every single video game he's ever played]

..... shit.

No wonder we struggled.

[enfangs]

Yup. We fucked up, but it's really not much of a surprise.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

Yeah. We were pretty much set up to fail this time.

[which. he has so many feelings about.]

But it does mean that someone killed this week and can kill again.

[enfangs]

Yeah. And now that the precedent's been set, it wouldn't be surprising if more people start doing it too.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . .

there is

so much about this that he hates]

... are you gonna be able to keep yourself safe, White-kun?

[enfangs]

... Huh? Why are you worrying about me?

[sengokus]

Because I need to know who to be worried about.

[and he - does seem serious about this.]

I mean - it's never gonna completely go away. I know Endorsi-san's crazy strong and I'm still never gonna be comfortable until I see she's okay for myself.

But I need to know if you're sure enough that you can defend yourself that I worry less.

[enfangs]

I'll make it easy for you, then—you can spare your worry for someone else.

[sengokus]

[he tilts his head]

We're friends, so - no, not all of it's disappearing. You gotta stay safe or I'll kick your ass.

But if you're sure then.

[enfangs]

[a scoff]

If someone actually manages to kill me, give them a medal, 'cause trust me, I don't make it easy.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he reaches out to nudge white's head roughly - not enough to hurt, but enough to show agitation]

Fuck off with that talk today, okay? It's not funny any day, but I'm especially not feeling it right now.

I'm serious.

Stay alive.

[enfangs]

[...

the worlds he and mineo come from, figuratively, are like night and day; again, he's reminded of this.]

And I'm serious too—save your worry.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just huffs.]

Keep saying it and I'll just worry more to spite you, man.

[but he'll at least back off the topic]
