He's gone through a lot these couple of weeks. [ What with being love arrowed to Shenhe on the week she died? It was bad? She's not holding anything against him. ] What he said was, "It'd be disingenuous to string you along like that in a game where at least one of us is gonna disappear."
At least there's that. It'd be worse to be rejected and lose a friend.
[ ha ha. ]
Mm. It's been long enough that we all have friends outside of our teams by now, but they just keep reminding us that most of us will still have to be erased. [ ... ] Even with the messages that we and Wolfwood-san got, knowing that they aren't completely erased... it doesn't make it feel any better to know that we're probably going to die again sooner or later, too.
I don't know how you could. I don't think I'd be able to... at least not without a real reason.
Two months of it, too. And they've been encouraging us to go out and make friends, saying it's a good strategy to survive, and maybe they're right. But it still hurts.
Opening up to each other means the inevitable hurt when somebody leaves. [Sips her coffee] That's a very human experience, even outside of a game like this.
I wish I knew how. I feel like I'm operating blindly.
I know that, but... it's worse here. When we know we're already dead, and being erased means losing any chances we might have had forever. I was already used to that kind of thing, with Adonis, but it's harder when it's closer to you.
[ you can't ignore it, when it's like this. ]
We all are. Pretty sure they set it up that way on purpose. But there has to be a loophole somewhere, right?

[ it makes him think about... ]
This game sucks as much as the other one.
no subject
I told him and we're still friends. I'm satisfied.
[ Can't ask for a rejection to go any better, right?
Closes her eyes and sips her coffee. ]
It does suck, doesn't it.

[Because what else would there be? She can't force somebody else to come back to her.
She looks a bit distant for a moment before her attention comes back.]
It's still awful losing friends. It's terrible that this is the layout of the game. Erase or be erased. Figure out who did it. Rinse and repeat.

I wish we could change the rules.

[There's no shame in not just being able to go "alright". It's better to be able to fight people over that.]
I can't deny that.
Wenzhou and I are looking for one. We have those notes we get back from all those adventures. So hopefully that means we get something out of them.

[ HE'S EIGHTEEN. which is a kid. but he doesn't want to be treated that way. ]
...Let me know if there's something I can do? I'm really tired of not being able to do anything to help anyone.
no subject
[ Just pointing it out. ]
If you could ask the Reapers how many points bringing one person back to the RG is? It might be easier to determine how we're doing.
no subject
...I'll see what I can do. But how do you think that'll help us when we don't know how many points anything's worth, let alone what we have?
