...I don't think she's completely prepared. If tomorrow's Thursday, then the final rankings should come out in the morning. She doesn't have that much time to kill us. Kiichi and Fuwa are looking for her, too.
And we'll do whatever we can when she shows back up.
[ he's worried, but also resigned to the fact that there's only so much they can do right now but rest and brace themselves. ]
That's what I'm hoping. There's no reason for the game to keep going once we win. [ ruby's desperate enough that he'd believe she might pull some crazy stunt anyway, but he doesn't think she has infinite time and resources to do so. the explosion itself took weeks of preparation. his hands tense up enough that the little frog hops off his knuckles. ] ...We're close. I understand Ruby. But I'm not going to let her undo what we've worked at.
Yeah. I think that's the gist of it. I get why you'd blow up a bunch of people if that's what it took to put a stop to this, but as one of the people getting blown up...
I don't know. Maybe that's hypocritical, all things considered. But I don't really think so, because I think we always felt like...we were going to make it right.
Yeah. Maybe it's selfish when we could prevent other people from going through this too. But I don't like thinking that way.
[ he thinks it's pretty reasonable to not be okay with threatening all forty of them and also possibly all their worlds.
he sighs, resolved and resigned in his own way, his emotions like the pressurized deep of the sea, roiling and heavy. but it lightens a bit as he washes off his hands of frog slime, flicking water off his fingertips. ]
[ well, he sucks at this, but he's going to try and give her a hug. it's not a very good hug. like, when you're thinking too hard about your own limbs and generally are not very good at physical affection, but are doing your best because it's the very last night before what might be the very last day. quietly, ]
No matter what happens tomorrow, I love you. And Gerard. [ and rin, but it feels weird to say so. ] So you have to protect yourself, too.
[ not just him. but mostly, he just wants her to know this because they might get blown up, and it's important to say. he doesn't want to miss the opportunity. ]

Yeah. Once we officially won, the game is sort of "over," isn't it? So her plan might now work anymore.

Good. [ as funny as it would be for them to wipe tomorrow and for everyone to tails.png about it ]
