[ . . . . . he just

furrows his brow]

..... it'd be better than being conscious right now, I think?

[he's got

the worst fucking headache]

[enfangs]

Well, if you want, I can knock you out.

[sengokus]

[ . . . .

he pauses like he's thinking about it

it's that bad]

[enfangs]

Yikes. That shitty, huh?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he just

places his face in his hands]

I don't even know, White-kun.

I'm just... pissed we didn't figure out anything that actually mattered.

[enfangs]

... Considering how things went last time, I kind of had a feeling this would happen when it turned out we had two corpses.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . ]

Some of it didn't go - that badly. [he wants to give credit] We found everything in enough time.

[ . . . ]

But -

... for what...?

[enfangs]

Finding shit is easy. Making sense of it is the hard part.

[sengokus]

.... and yet it still feels like we missed something. Something that somebody was hiding on their person.

[enfangs]

Seems like it. Not like we're all that strict with the checks, anyway...

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

I think -

We need to be stricter. Even if that can be pretty hard.

[enfangs]

Maybe get that Gu Yun guy to help you out, then. He's good at bossing people around.

[sengokus]

[ . . . he pauses]

....

Do you trust him, White-kun?

[enfangs]

Huh? Not particularly, no.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

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]

[enfangs]

[...]

Are you saying you trust me? [if he's telling him this?] What the fuck is wrong with you?

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

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]

[enfangs]

[internal screeching]

I-I told you! I was bored and wanted to get out of the room!

[sengokus]

... okay. Well, I'm choosing to believe that wasn't true.

{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.

[enfangs]

[stop don't dismiss his lies so easily

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.]

[enfangs]

[before he coughs into his hand. very smooth.]

W-Who else is on that list, anyway?

[sengokus]

[white....

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.]

[enfangs]

[it's fine he's still just learning how to handle people being kind to him

anyway.]

... You seriously have shitty taste in people.

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he shakes his head.]

I don't think so.

[enfangs]

[.............]

So, what's your rationale? I get that Takeru's your friend from back home or whatever, so what about Endorsi?
