We organize. [ there's a determination to her voice, something in the line of her shoulders-- she's already decided. ] We don't have enough time for a second option, and I can't guarantee I'll be able to sense any splintering again. I couldn't even feel it when it happened to Yoshizawa. Hua Cheng already said he was willing to be the one to do it again if need be. I told Taako, too. I'll tell Homura if she comes to me, and... uh, you guys decide on Fiora.
[ press x to doubt on getting fiora involved. but anyway; ]
Between you three, you should know enough teams. Get Yoshizawa to try and tell you how many people from which team are with her. That way, we can make sure we won't hit any team that's in danger. Then next week... we'll do what we have to.
...Fiora won't do it, so what's the point? [normally he wouldn't give up so fast, but he's observed her behavior enough to notice.] She'd help us cover, but I don't trust her to do that if we had to remove someone she liked. It's...hard, I guess, to get someone to understand what has to be done for the Realm.
So what're you saying? Taako, Hua Cheng and I can come up with a list of people on teams? Rabbit said if we talk about who's on what team without sharing the team's leader it doesn't count as outing them. [he's so proud of his (clementine's) loophole. but...] We have to kill someone innocent?
[ she squeezes his hand, looking down before looking back up ]
... We might have to. Sora, that loop everyone's talked about, it's real. And-- the last time we did it, we chose to do it again, because not everyone could've gotten out. If we have to do those things to make sure everything is really fixed this time, then that's what we'll do. Maybe I'll sense someone else by next week. We'll wait that long. But if I don't... I'd rather we be prepared for whatever we might have to do.
Is that the only way we can save everybody? Is there anything else we're missing, you think? I want to get this right this time, if this really is our last chance.
... I don't want to risk going past the deadline, but I don't want the decision to be hasty, either. That's why... Next week. If we haven't learned anything else, we have to make a move.
...I'll talk to the two of them and we'll figure something out. Present it to Homura and maybe Fiora and go from there. If we have enough time, we can plan a little better. We just have to hope nobody decides to take one of us out instead.
... I am, too. I think... No, I remembered-- I might have done something terrible back home, before we wound up here. That's why, I... I don't want to mess this up for everyone else, too.
Probably. He and Lup tell each other everything, especially now that he remembers her. I'm sure there are others but...I trust Taako to tell us if anything big comes up. He's a good person that way.

Don't worry about me. I made the decision myself. [ there's a pause ] ... I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

[ she pulls back, though she's still holding his hand ]
The Friday after this one. That's the deadline. That's how long we all have to get two kills for our team, or the removed will get stuck on that side.

Yeah. That's about all we can do right now. I'll try and see if there's any other solution, okay?

Sounds good to me. We could both use a break for a little bit anyway. [he worries about swan a lot tbh but it's fine.]
no subject
Yeah. We've done what we can for now, I think. Taako said he'd share some to the other teams, too.
no subject
Did he say who? I don't want to overlap stuff.
