[ He's satisfied somewhat to hear that, at least. Some teens are more easily influenced than others, and Haru is just a normie combined with him losing his friend -- it's rough all around. ]
Good, that's what I like to hear -- for both ends.
If it helps to think about it this way, felt more like he was speaking on behalf of his team anyway.
[ Matsui was in no state to do the investigations himself. And also sometimes you just need that kind of unhinged 'runs around licking everything' energy to get shit done, good job Rang. ]
[ wolfwood gives off such gruff old coach vibes to him, giving him this off-hand validation. it sparks a little emotion: exasperation, but in a quietly fond way that he would never admit.
that bleeds quickly into sympathy, though. ]
Mm. Matsui wasn't in good shape to talk.
[ or to do like, anything? how many curses flew around this trial on top of his dark vortex of emotions? help. ]
Do you believe Libby? That it wasn't a strategic pick?
[ He doesn't elabourate, mostly because he doesn't know how to go beyond that. He's only known all of you a short while, and he's not sure how much he can say he understands a majority of you. ]
You don't need much time or understanding to like somebody. [ unfortunately. sometimes you just get attached and you're stuck with incomprehensible friends forever. ] What is it you do?
[ Suffer and deal with it except he won't say it out loud unless it comes up in just the right way. ]
What a way to tell the world that you don't got a whole lot of friends.
I travel from place to place and don't get to know people for long. A lot of 'em, I spend minutes with, maybe a day, and then I don't see 'em again. You don't make friends with temporary clients, especially when your next employer might have a bone to pick with 'em.
I don't have many friends. [ that's true and he doesn't mind saying as much. he has no added sadness today saying as much. actually, making more friends here has literally only led to heartache, so. ] ...But being on the move that much sounds hard.

It's hard to say. We've all only known each other for three weeks, that's not enough time to get a read on anybody.
In the end though, it's hard to deny that it wasn't a good pick from a strategic point.
[ And tomorrow... they're proven right by BDSM's tpk... ]

Mm. It crossed my mind. A lot of people thought it.
[ which is terrible, and might also make him terrible, so there's a quiet wave of guilt here, but he tries not to linger. ]
You can get to know someone pretty fast, though.
[ to him three weeks seems like long enough to be close to someone? and he's not even that good at making friends. ]
no subject
He lets the guilt pass without fanfare. He feels no such guilt himself, but hardly his place to tell anyone else off for it. ]
Guess it depends on what your definition of "knowing someone" is.

...Maybe, maybe not.
Think it's a good enough blanket statement though. Don't really make friends with what I do.

[ You're in that little squad too Haru. ]
I thought I told you. I do odds and ends, whatever'll keep my wallet from letting me starve.

I'm friends with most people I like. I don't like many people though. [ ... ] Why does that mean you don't make friends?

That's contract work for ya.

[ Nor is he that invested in how many friends somebody else has got. If Haru feels fine about it, then that's all that matters. ]
It's what I'm used to. Better than being cooped up if you ask me. Matter of personal taste, but I think I'd just get restless.
