[ in fact, he knows it. ] And.. knowing that this won't be the end - that is the hope that I have held on to. Soo-won is a practical person... I've no doubts that he is holding onto that with even more determination towards the end, too.
It is my fault that we didn't see an icon flash today, right? Since Miss Jeanne was saved?
... If a Leader loses all of their team members, then they will essentially become another participant, and as a result, the removed connected to them will not be able to cross over.
--Oh! That's good, Brother Goat, I'm glad. If you'd be willing to share with me, we can do our normal exchange...!
[ ...
wait a second, he was talking about something important!! my friendship but also my theories, ] -- Um, well, that can wait a second. Brother Goat... you must know that theory does make the most sense, right? With the flashing, and all...? And that my ability simply blocks anyone from recognizing who did a kill during a certain week because we didn't technically execute someone. We've been using those flashing markers to track how many teams have killed up until this point.
Is there any other explanation besides that one that you could tell me?
I think it's good to theorize, even if they may not necessarily be accurate... but it seems that the further those theories spread, the more people forget that they have not been confirmed, and that is when they treat them as "fact".
[ you are all laughing hysterically at us right now and i know it ]
Mm... I think that is practical. It could have incited more panic, and... even more lives could've been lost. [ xie lian smiles. ] So... by sharing that, you encouraged communication with you all even further, and hopefully helped to stop what could have been a disastrous amount of extra casualties.
I think we've been over such things - I have many things to be grateful to you for, and I never mind sharing my gratitude. Not to mention, I'm quite stubborn, so you'll find I will not rescind it any time soon.
[ that comes with a laugh. xie lian sips his tea as the moment settles... he seems to become a little more thoughtful, looking down into the cup. ]
...Brother Goat, you know, I am always so pleased at how easy it is to get along with you. I've really come to enjoy your company very much, over these weeks - not just working with you, but getting to know you, as well. [ a pause. ]
...It is true, right? That we all... that we've been through this before.
... Oh. Oh, no. I forgot the favour Hikaru asked me for.
[ aaaaaaaaah
—but anyway, first xie lian's question. ]
I think so...? I don't really know any more than the rest of you [ does goat ever know anything ] but given what we have been presented with, it seems likely.

Yes. But if it had to happen, especially for that child... I think he would've wanted it to be him, rather than someone else.

no subject
What? No, I doubt that has anything to do with you.
no subject
...Wait, but, if Soo-won completed the task, shouldn't... your icon have flashed, on my PHS?
[ can i not read ]
no subject
Should it? Why the PHS flashes has only ever been a theory, so no one can say for certain when it should or shouldn't be doing so.
no subject
looks vaguely like he wants to die for a second ]
....O-Only a theory, huh....
[ closes eyes. anyway. ]
Before when it did, you remembered something, right....?
no subject
I did.

... If a Leader loses all of their team members, then they will essentially become another participant, and as a result, the removed connected to them will not be able to cross over.
no subject
En... I heard that from someone else, too. Was that it, or did you also regain a memory about yourself...?
no subject
... I did.

Is there any other explanation besides that one that you could tell me?
no subject
Well... has anyone ever actually seen their icon flash more than once? [ because goat sure hasn't heard anyone claim that. ] Maybe it simply doesn't.
no subject
Why would it need to only flash the one time...?
no subject
I don't know.
But I think it's a simpler theory that it only flashes once, and not that your power has anything to do with it.
no subject
[ that
is an understatement. he at least says it in a way that you can tell he recognizes it, scratching his cheek sheepishly. ]
I do trust your judgement. That announcement you all had to make today.. it seems we are all often theorizing quite wildly off track, hm...?
no subject
I think it's good to theorize, even if they may not necessarily be accurate... but it seems that the further those theories spread, the more people forget that they have not been confirmed, and that is when they treat them as "fact".
no subject
It does become something of a conspiracy theory then... I'm glad you all were able to reinforce what you did, though.
[ I LEARNED WHO THE FUCKING PAWN WAS LIKE FIVE MINUTES LATER
ANYWAY ]

[ xie lian smiles. ] So... by sharing that, you encouraged communication with you all even further, and hopefully helped to stop what could have been a disastrous amount of extra casualties.
I think that's worth gratitude.
no subject
I'm still not sure if it's worth thanking me for... but you're welcome? Although it was Tiger who made the announcement...

he. muffles a little laugh. one thing at a time. ] What did Miss Hikaru ask you for?
no subject
I was supposed to give you a flower each time we met with each other... She wanted you to be reminded that you are cared for.
