Maybe they'll get it out of their system tonight? Doesn't look like the thing is gonna suddenly come and wipe us all out right now, at least.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he sighs]

No... we just have to sort of - regroup for tonight, I guess?

[but he rubs the back of his neck]

.... will you really be okay though? Going back to your room? I'm serious that you can stay in mine if you can work it out with Endorsi.

[enfangs]

[he shrugs.]

Eh, I'll probably just crash in the rec room or something. Keep up the Thursday tradition.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he looks a little uncomfortable about this.]

.... if you're staying out tomorrow, I'll stay with you. I just already asked Takeru and Grace tonight.

[so he'd feel awkward going back on it]

Do you wanna hang out until then?

[enfangs]

[he blinks.]

Y'know, it's not like I'm gonna run off and get myself killed if you don't stick with me, but sure.

[sengokus]

[he shakes his head]

I don't think that - it's more just that I feel bad leaving you to yourself after finding out that your roommate ate somebody...

[enfangs]

I mean, it's not the weirdest thing. Yuel's been trying to eat me all week.

[sengokus]

[a beat]

It's.

It's almost the weirdest thing.

[enfangs]

[a snort]

I'm almost impressed at his dedication.

[sengokus]

I really don't know if I want to say it like that...?

[enfangs]

[he just heads over to get something to drink.]

Probably better off not thinking about the details, then.

[sengokus]

Can you get me some tea...

[if he's already going

but he's just sighing]

... we really missed a lot, huh...

[enfangs]

Get your own drink!

[white says, as he gets tea.]

Yup, we sure did. [a beat] Did you know about any of 'em? 'Sides Endori's, anyway.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he looks thoughtful.]

Some we guessed or theorized. I wasn't entirely surprised about others.

But I'll say that Ming Yi-san and Shi-san really threw me off.

[enfangs]

[now that he's done getting mineo's, he gets a soda for himself.]

I was surprised by Shi too... but it sounds like she did it to save Eleanor and everyone, so that's actually less surprising.

[sengokus]

Ah, thanks.

[he'll have his tea]

... that's true enough. [he sighs] But I guess...

Ah, well, I can't expect anyone to confess, I guess. No matter their reasons.

[enfangs]

Yeah. [he takes a sip of his drink.] Can't all be bleeding hearts around here... even if it probably would've made things simpler.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . he just shakes his head at that.]

Tomorrow's going to be... rough. With all the different opinions and everything. Not to mention all the bad blood.

[enfangs]

... Well, if we want any chance of winning this thing, people are gonna have to deal with it.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . ]

Endorsi told me - that she told you.

What do you think?

[enfangs]

What do I think about what? What she did, or how people will react to it?

[sengokus]

Both.

[enfangs]

... Well, I already punched her a few times for it, and I don't blame anyone for being pissed off—but considering what's at stake, there's no point in putting that above what we have to do. I mean, unless they actually don't care about what happens to all of us.

It's not like we have to hug it out and be best friends with everyone.

[he had to play nice with his abuser for a hundred years. so, as far as he's concerned, no one has any excuse for not being able to handle it for a few days.]

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he sighs.]

I guess.

[even though he also thinks that it's - annoying, to say the least. mineo has many warring loyalties, even when he tried to keep his trust limited.]

I know that we have to focus but - everything feels so tense now.

[enfangs]

[honestly, the matter with endorsi has rekindled some uncomfortable feelings—but in the end, they're nothing he hasn't lived with before, so he's learned to bear with it.]

... As soon as people started killing, it was always going to end up like this.
