[ he's a little embarrassed at being coddled like this, or a lot embarrassed, but also it's not the worst when you've had an absolute disaster of a day. a week. a month and some change. ]
Did ya... get a message, or did ya decide to act? [ no judgment, if that wasn't already obvious by livio just holding haru for however long minutes this pc has been going on for ]
[ considering how Cute and Fun their team is, he's pretty sure he can get away with lying about this, but it feels pretty insanely wrong. he has a good pokerface, but he's not a good liar. ]
...I don't think there always is a message. It might just be a failsafe. [ in case other people don't act. ]
[ the way i left you dramatically hanging on this oops. anyway, that question does suck. he's got a decent pokerface, but since he's once again being big bro-ed he is close enough to feel the tension from. ]
...You can't tell anyone.
[ he doesn't think livio will, but this particular thing is something they have to keep very secret. ]

[ he looks much more scared now than he did at trial ]
I should be erased tomorrow, but...
no subject
It's not your fault. You're not suited to killing.
no subject
...I should be better now. What if Gerard dies? Fei Du was his friend. He just did that for us.
no subject
Everyone's just trying to protect what's important to them. Don't blame yourself.
no subject
...Did Ylfa talk to you already?
no subject
I know about it all.
[ waves hands in timeywimey ]
no subject
I don't—what we've done can't be for nothing.
no subject
It won't be, Haru. It won't be.
no subject
after a while, haru calms down a little or at least shuts down enough that he's chilled out. ]
...I hope you're right.
no subject
I am. [ because he has to be ]
Can we talk a bit about it? Or...
[ he won't push haru if he doesn't want to ]
no subject
...What do you want to know?

I think ya might be right about that.
Why Fei Du? Did ya think he was onto ya guys, or was there another reason?
no subject
I think that made it... less bad. To him.
[ because gerard is a decent person ]
Fei Du knew we were in first, but we didn't know that until we talked to him.
no subject
[ huh. ]
Do you know how he knew that? The Reapers aren't allowed to tell.
no subject
[ he just kind of assumes there's a 50/50 chance fei du was fucking with them ]
Nahri said as much at trial too. So people do know. We knew it was a possibility.
no subject
[ a fair assumption frankly, fei du does seem that type ]
What was his reason?
no subject
[ he does not really see this as a solid enough answer to believe it, and it's not even that helpful even if it was true. ]
no subject
... Haru, can I ask ya something else? It's not about these murders.
no subject
Sure.
no subject
When Rin died, the hallucinations. Did you do that?
no subject
...You can't tell anyone.
[ he doesn't think livio will, but this particular thing is something they have to keep very secret. ]
no subject
... I won't. Not even my team. I promise.
no subject

He used it on his killer's team. But that only worked because Buzen and Matsui were trying to give D away.
