... it's hard to put into words. And don't say that Takeru and I are friends too loudly - he'll hate it.
[even mineo's nose wrinkles a little]
But... I think that you're people who wouldn't sell me out and stab me in the back in pursuit of your wish and your goals. That if it really came down to it, I wouldn't be someone you'd sacrifice without a thought.
[ . . . ]
And... even if you did - [betray him]
I've decided I'd be okay with it, because I trust you would've done your best not to.
... Sometimes I think you have the memory of a goldfish and forget the part where sacrificing people for my own sake was literally all I did for most of my life?

Well, whatever. [since he can guess what mineo's response will be—the gist of it, at least.] Endorsi and I are probably a lot alike, as much as she pisses me off. No wonder if you're stupid enough to trust one of us, you're going for the other too.

Then I don't really want to ask him for help.
[he just sighs.]
Don't tell anybody -
.... but I don't really trust that many people here.
[but it's just easier when everybody thinks that he's easy to manipulate]
no subject
Are you saying you trust me? [if he's telling him this?] What the fuck is wrong with you?
no subject
You were gonna follow me into a hallway with a killer robot with a crazy gun....
[he
doubts
that white was just gonna sit around and popcorn while it happened]
no subject
I-I told you! I was bored and wanted to get out of the room!
no subject
{just easily enough, and shrugging]
But I don't think you'd stab me in the back. So... yeah, I trust you. I don't want to regret it.... but I don't think I will.

but. he looks away, looking like a mixture between startled, touched, and also maybe a little on the verge of a breakdown. it's probably fine.]
no subject
W-Who else is on that list, anyway?
no subject
mineo just pats his shoulder in confusion? doing okay?]
Hm? Oh....
.... Takeru.
[ . . . . ]
Endorsi.
[and
after a little while, he nods.
it's a short list.]
no subject
anyway.]
... You seriously have shitty taste in people.
no subject
I don't think so.
no subject
So, what's your rationale? I get that Takeru's your friend from back home or whatever, so what about Endorsi?

no subject
... yeah, there's something familiar about both of you.
But... I don't really care, about what you did for most of your life. I don't think I'm in any position to make judgments about any of that.
I just know what you're like here - and I like you both just fine.

white is quiet for a long while, not quite looking at mineo as he internally bsods again.]
no subject
So.
Ready to be knocked out?
[can't catch him, feelings!]
no subject
sighs
he's at least.... somewhat recovered after their talk so he just frowns]
Can't we just... get dinner or something...
no subject
no subject
[and he'll just. finally get up off the floor, patting white on the shoulder]
We can spar again on Monday if you really want.
no subject
[he has been waiting the whole week ever since he uh
punched her in the face too]
no subject
[but he also
just isn't going to get in the middle of that]
no subject
no subject
I mean, I've been there, but... wow.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. It's just weird, right?
[HE CAN'T SAY IT'S WHITE'S FAULT BECAUSE THEN IT'D MEAN IT'S ALSO MINEO'S FAULT]
