To be honest... I haven't really thought about it. I like the water - especially the ocean - but I don't spend a lot of time actually in it.
[he glances at the pool before looking back at haru]
But you seem to like it a lot. So I think it's nice to watch people who know what they like.

[ he's back at the pool, wow, he just lives here. but he's just angrily swimming, out of breath when he pulls himself out of the water at the end of the lap.
he tenses up when buzen steps into the pool area, and a barrier shines into place between them in record speed. ]

[he'll just move to sit at the edge of the pool then, crossing his legs]
I know. I get it. Here, I'll put my sword a little further away from me.
[as an explanation, and he waits a second before he unties it from his waist and puts it off to the side. he can still reach it, but it's further. he hopes the gesture resonates enough.]
You don't need to say sorry. I'm glad you're protecting yourself.

[ swords are banned in his japan, so it only does so much, but it's... a gesture. he tries to accept it with a straight face as he dips his legs into the pool again. ]
...It's stupid. No one's going to try and erase me on a Friday.
It's just nerves. [ aka, he'll get over it. he's so tough and stuff. ]

[he's probably run into ylfa and gerard both by now
but he's going to rise and immediately bend at the waist, bowing his head]
I knew, Haru-san. Since yesterday.
I don't expect you to believe me but I... If I could've said something, I would've. If I knew that it would've hurt me, or my team, then I would've said something as soon as we were all gathered.
I tried - to say what I could in the times that I could. [which was fucking hard, when everyone was talking about framing and buzen didn't know how to keep steering them back] But I... I'm not very smart. So I know I didn't do it well.
I'm sorry.

[ part of him wants to be angry, but he can't find himself to find that rage anymore. it's not really a lasting feeling for him. instead, wearily: ]
You did better than you think.
[ otherwise, he doesn't think they'd have voted for the right team today. but he looks conflicted. after a drawn moment: ]
Why?

Why?
[did he?
he doesn't look convinced, expression still a little broken. for froggystyle especially, he thinks that they have every reason to be angry.]
Why... Rin-san? [a beat] I think... that's for the person who did it to say - but if they don't, I'll tell you later.
[clearly buzen is a fucking snitch]

[ buzen... he respects how much of a snitch he is. because in his shoes, he has no idea if he could do the same against his teammates.
is it because they're not human, that they can have noble spirits? ]
...I hope you don't have to answer that.
[ he hopes he hears it elsewhere. ]
But, no. I mean—why did you help us? Ylfa, Gerard, and I... we were ready to not vote for you.

[he looks so baffled at this question, he doesn't even know where to begin with it]
Because you deserve the truth. More than anyone else, if you didn't realize it was us—how could... How could I have forgiven that?
Rin-san should still be here. It's my team's fault that he isn't. Those are facts.

[ he's not wrong, because they are facts—but it doesn't feel that simple. he finds himself struggling against an answer. ]
...I thought most teams would collaborate.
[ even on something like murder. ]
When Rin died, I realized. That people here were willing to do the unforgiveable.
