I didn't know about Shenhe before. But the reasons he did it you said are right. And her specifically because - well, I mean, she was also planning to do it. And I think we felt at the time like it wasn't fair to go after people who didn't want to play the game by those rules.
Anyway, I didn't help him kill Shenhe, but I'm the one who pushed the issue first, and he probably wouldn't have done anything if it wasn't because it would have been me instead of him if he hadn't. And honestly, I can't say we promise you can trust us to tell you things, because you probably can't.
So there's all of that.
But the mainly important thing to say is I'm pretty certain that we're the ones in first place now. So unless we get erased, we're the ones whose points will matter.
...doesn't surprise me that she was already thinking about it. [ and he can't say he blames either side in this case. ]
Either way, I appreciate the honesty. I don't doubt there're gonna be things you guys can't tell us. Likewise, there'll probably be things we can't tell you either. That's how the game's designed.
[ ... ]
But if anything, all I'd ask is that you guys don't go after us. I'm not expecting a promise. It's just an ask. [ because in order to stay in first place, more work will have to be done. ]
[she makes a slightly pained expression, but she nods.]
Both of us really, really don't want that to happen. Maybe instead of promise, it's more like "hope." But after you guys have been so nice to us, I don't think either of us could stand the idea of hurting any of you.
...I'll take "hope" in this instance, too. It's about the best any of us can do anymore. [ and he appreciates it and hopes they realize it is mutual. ]

...Yeah. I don't even want to think about it.
