[ oda's not sure if he'll be able to meet justice after the trial, but here he is, waiting in the same place that they met the first time. he's not sure if it's necessary for him to be here of all places or if they can come from wherever but...
[ the waiting is fine for a bit. it gives him time to think about today’s trial— about his actions and itachi’s, too. not only that, but the subject of julius’s fate is also eating away at his mind too.
needless to say, he’s relieved to see justice finally show up. he nods. ]
Yeah, I guess so. I just... don’t know what to do. About Julius.
Yes. I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but...it's just the first week, right? So there's gotta be a whole lot we can do if everyone just asks. And you're asking, right? So I'll let the others know that I'm in favor!
[Justice waves their arms up and down.]
I couldn't just stand around and let innocent people get hurt if I can help it. I...I really hate it when people get hurt!
[ he hesitates, thinking about his answer. he never really put thought into his surroundings or his opinions about it before, having decided to just trudge on with his life. first, an assassin. then, an errand boy for the mafia. now...
now he's nothing. a ghost, perhaps. ]
I was never scared, no. Not for myself. But it's a harsh world. Cruel.
Yes! Well...the world's already here, but it doesn't have any kind of order. So I'm going to make it one that has order, one that isn't hurtful to anyone. Wouldn't a place like that just be so nice? Where everyone can be a big family?
[ there's a long, heavy silence as oda muses what they just said. a vision like that is definitely fit for a child, but is it really applicable to real life?

[Justice pauses, but then approaches the rest of the way, stopping in front of Oda and clenching their fists in a stance of earnestness.]
Please don't worry too much! I think that everything will end up okay!
no subject
I’m sorry. I guess I just... can’t help but worry. After all, he was innocent— there must be something that I and the others can do.

You're a lot kinder than I thought a deity of justice would be. But that's not bad, I think. [ a pause ] Thanks.

[Justice sags.]
But I understand. That's why I want to make a new one that isn't like that.

[ oda quirks an eyebrow ]
Is that what you want to do?

that's what he's unsure of. ]
It'd be nice. I just can't imagine it at all.

[ :( Justice's shoulders sag a little bit.]
I know it's not something that'll be easy, but...that's why I'm going to work really, really hard.
no subject
Don't be sad, I'm just not that imaginative. I know you can do it.
no subject
[Weh!!!]
I don't want to lose you.
no subject
[ oda's eyes widen just a bit, clearly surprised by this. ]
I'm still unsure if I deserve to be serving you. But I'll do my best not to let you down.
no subject
And I'll do the same for you, too, okay?
