... I spoke with Love ... [ very softly. that's all he says, at least at first. once again, he has to close his eyes, and he's quiet for a long time, now. listening to everyone, trying to process what's being said to him. it's so much, all at once, especially with his morals shrieking at him about how much none of this matters, how he can trust no one, how he should just take out anyone in his way, how none of this truly matters, how he should give up, give up, give up... ]
... I wanted to guarantee this outcome ... before the end of the game ...
[ Which is why he's here tonight. ]
... if it's truly possible ... for any of you to make this happen ...
[ that one makes his head scream. all along...? all along, and they're killing each other...
Yu reaches for Sasuke, holding onto him with both hands. he's getting vertigo from the extreme disagreement between his morals and his memories. in the end, extremely tiredly: ]
... you're right ... I can't make this deal ... while I'm like this ... whatever my intentions ...
[ tug. ]
Whatever happens... Sasuke... I won't let you carry my death ...
[ Holding onto Sasuke still, he directs a shallow bow at Beauty. ]
Thank you ... for your help ...
[ ... and to Ambition: ]
... please know that I want the best ... for you ... you're still my friend ... I hope that next week ... you'll speak with me again.
[...it's hard to follow exactly what Yu's thinking, so Beauty remains quiet, trying to get a read on his emotions and his thoughts. It seems that he's finally talked some sense into himself, and maybe he'll think on this more clearly later.
He knows better than to continue speaking and maybe inspire further action though, so he simply nods in response to the bow and thanks.]
[His attention diverts to Yu when he's grabbed, keeping him from arguing. His brows furrow.] Don't be an idiot. [If anyone understands being rash... Well, yeah.] We're trying to find a way to guarantee that without you offering your belly to the end of a sword.
[GEEZ. Yu is the worst.
Lifting his hand, he takes Yu by the arm.] Come on. Unless you want me to bear the burden of your death, then shut up and think about this again next week. [His face is pinched for a moment, irritable and scolding, but then it softens some when he glances back at the two gods.
He points at Ambition with his free hand.] I'm not finished with you. [It doesn't sound as heated as the first time. To Beauty, he stares for a long moment... and then nods.
