Talking to him. The way he was talking last night - he told me he hoped that I'd be one to make it to the end, and kept talking as if he was already dead and gone.
A lot of the people I spend time around are heirs to something. I am, too.

My father's not dead, besides. I'll not be inheriting anything from him, least of all any sins, anytime soon! [ don't joke about that jesus christ ] So. You have nothing to worry about.

Hello. Were you expecting someone else?
[Nobody can come in here but their teammates. But logic like that means very little when people are lost in their own heads.]
no subject
I wasn't expecting anyone, really - I thought you might be out and about. But, I'll never say no to your company.
[ we stan kyoko in this warehouse. but he'll come over, moving to sit down on their couch. ]
How're you feeling?
no subject
[She'll allow him to sit.]
I'm fine. [The same kind of casual smile he might get out of her on days where they didn't watch an execution.] What about you? [Some people take execution much worse than others.]

Did you talk to D or did you learn through some other way?
[Factually:] Rang had a lot to say in the coliseum.
no subject
anyway. he makes a little noise. ]
Talking to him. The way he was talking last night - he told me he hoped that I'd be one to make it to the end, and kept talking as if he was already dead and gone.

Then he'd already accepted his fate when the results came in.

[ ... ]
The way he broke down was clever, of Rang, but he was already a broken man. From the moment it happened.
no subject
A soft sigh out of her.]
So it's like that? It would be rude if I ask after a dead man's history.
[There are some things that she can leave alone.]
no subject
[ fei du folds his hands together. ]
The sins of the father passed down to the son.
no subject
Wonders.]
How much do you believe in sins being passed down?
no subject
... ]
I've seen it go a few ways. Inherited and unavoidable. Chosen sins. It depends on the person - nothing's ever so black and white.
no subject
Shades of gray all around. That's familiar enough.

[ he doesn't drop much in the way of detail, but. ] And there are many kinds of people, and many kinds of relationships, so. I can't claim to know everything about D's, but from what he told me...
I see why he gave in, in the end.

Again, a pause, a consideration.]
Please make sure you don't give in.

Excellent. We'll just have to keep working as the weeks go on.

Voting correctly also grants points, but less than erasure. Let's hope their answers were correct.

There are some benefits to being low. [They may be perceived as less of a threat.]
