Hm... [ haru's used to blurting out whatever cursed shit is on his mind, but right now, he seems to be measuring his words. because he isn't very good with them. ] Yeah, a little. But no. It's twisted that so many people felt they had to do it.
[ livio doesn't look offended, in any case. haru's not wrong. it is twisted. the option, people feeling like they had to go... and him going. he's also going for threat analysis reasons, which he will not tell haru ]
The whole thing is cruel.
[ so was the execution. despite the lesbians.... pride week exec.. ] You're right not to go.
no subject
Yer gonna be competing against him the whole week...?
[ livio misunderstands. but he's probably right ]
no subject
I'm always competing against Rin. [ he feels this is extremely obvious ]
no subject
So you've always gotta keep your strength up, then.
[ take at least two bites. maybe three ]
no subject
fine, he'll eat, but he won't be happy about it. ]
...You have something too, then. It's awkward if it's just me.
no subject
I can join ya, then.
[ time to sit down and eat with his new horrible little brother ]
no subject
he stabs a broccoli. after a pause, ]
...Did you go? [ to execution ]
no subject
... Yeah. [ livio remembers that haru wasn't there ] It wasn't worth going to, so I'm glad ya didn't.
no subject
Why did you attend then?
[ his voice is peaceable, softer in its curiosity than usual. he feels bad for the people who went—they're not, presumably, a bunch of sadists. ]
no subject
... I felt we owed it to both of them to watch. And.... I wanted to see what would happen. What to expect.
[ not in a creepy way ]
no subject
I thought people might feel that way.
[ a sense of responsibility, either to the people dying, or to their team to "educate" themselves as best as possible. ]
It's twisted.
no subject
... Me going to watch?
[ he can't exactly disagree with being twisted.... ]
no subject
It gives you the choice. But the choice is cruel.
no subject
The whole thing is cruel.
[ so was the execution. despite the lesbians.... pride week exec.. ] You're right not to go.
[ don't ever go, haru ]
no subject
I don't think that's true.
[ he's not 'right' for his choice. ]
I'm just running. Maybe for as long as I can manage.
no subject
Because you don't want to watch?
no subject
[ of course he doesn't want to see someone die. ]
But I know I'll have to. [ so he'll cherish this time that he can hide. ]
no subject
[ unless the exec mechanic changes and he's forced to go, in which case, sucks to suck ]
no subject
[ it's more like—if there's ever a day he wants to say goodbye. ]
You don't have to worry about me.
no subject
[ his young eyes!!! ]
[ anyway, he'll worry about whatever babies he wants thanks ]
Yer the type to keep moving forward no matter what?
no subject
[ and he does. he doubts it'll ever be worth seeing anyone die for anyone reason. but are there certain things that'd drive anyone to go? yeah. ]
But, no. I'm not. [ don't give him too much credit. he's tired. ]
no subject
[ it's week 0 haru please ]
It's not easy. [ there are few people that are truly that type... livio wouldn't consider him to be, either. however.... ]
... But ya gotta try to be.
no subject
I know. [ he sounds determined about that. he knows what he has to be, here. ] You too, Livio.
[ he hasn't known him long, but he wants things to turn out okay for team justice, too. ]
