pc catchall for junpei (
...Yeah, he told me, and why he thinks that.
[She sighs.]
[She sighs.]
[Almost immediately:]
We aren't going to have to kill him, okay? No matter what, we'll... We'll figure out a different way. That's not how this story goes.

Getting her shit together is one thing, but... Does she seem sorry about how severely she didn't have her shit together?
[Regardless, she nods.]
Besides everything she pulled... It's nice to not have one of the two who would just hit on me every single week.

I'd rather happiness loved company, in this case.
[Implying either of them have been happy since they came here!! Anyways.]
Maybe you should give each of them a code name.

Well... Flirting with other people is one thing, but it sounds like you know you wouldn't be unfaithful if you weren't in this kind of situation, right? And - you also said you think she would get it.
[And, given all that:]
If you're feeling bad about it, I don't think you need to.

I wonder...
[There's a thoughtful pause.]
There's information that I was able to get a task for later into this situation that I wasn't allowed to hear at all at first. Maybe if we try asking questions we couldn't hear about at the start, we'll get lucky.

I think she might. She at least sort of acknowledged she fucked up a lot.
[...but he just. Smirks.] That's probably because Carlos wouldn't know if someone was hitting on him if a neon sign flashed before his eyes. Or that he was hitting on someone in the first place.

[Another pause to think that all over.]
I don't think I'd have a reason to be as long as she was with me, or I had the idea I might find her again. But unfaithful, I mean. Not without her knowing, but Akane sort of always knows anyway. [He taps his temple with two fingers.] It's shut off but we used to have a mind link, I guess. I never really knew how much she knew about me without telling me.
[...but.] That helps though. It's one thing for Akane to flirt with Carlos, but I wasn't really sure where to put this sort of thing on a scale, you know?

[And so he goes to pick up Beck after he and Wei Wuxian ditched her.
In all seriousness, wherever she is, he winds up finding her and approaching her with equal parts irritation and thoughtfulness.]
...heard you were our lucky winner today. [For...finding the body...haha. Ha.]

...Yeah, lucky.
[There's some light sarcasm in her voice as she says that, but.]
It might be messed up, but - I didn't know him, so...
[She isn't as torn up about it as she might otherwise be.]

No, I get it. [In a way, it's sort of a nice reprieve from Junpei losing all of his closer friends week after week.] It sucks. He actually was a pretty interesting kind of guy...smart when he wanted to be, too.
[...okay, so maybe he did like him a bit.] At the same time, and this is equally messed up, I'm pretty glad it's just one victim this week again.

...Being glad less people died isn't a bad thing.
[She nods, though.]
If it was you, Wei Wuxian, Dick or Higekiri... I don't know how I would have dealt.

[There's a slow nod right back.] My list is about the same, but add Tamamo and Nikkari.
We're getting to the point where people are close enough it's going to hurt no matter who's next. But...we're also running out of time anyway. Day 50 is next week.

...Haymitch and Katy would be one mine, too.
[She sighs.]
Do you think they'll be more deaths next week?
[She sighs.]
Do you think they'll be more deaths next week?
[He doesn't want to answer and he doesn't know if it's because he's feeling particularly cynical or what.]
It's almost a guarantee. We're getting to the end. I don't think our demons would want us to win now that we have everything in our hands. We're still trying to understand the ritual to get us out of here, but like Katy said at the meeting. The route to escape has been opened.
I'm almost afraid next week is going to be the hardest yet, but that's why I'm making preparations.

Inventory of our ritual items to make sure we still have all of them and they'll be safe, a rework of all of my notes to leave behind whenever the demons come after me, an alternate escape route, and...everything I can to make sure we bring our hosts back, too, and they won't die the same way the last ones did before the game was over.
[It goes by so quickly that she almost misses it, but—]
...Junpei.
...Junpei.
