It'll be okay, you know. It's...a really stressful situation, so we're all still learning. I'm sure he'll forgive you...eventually.
[One heartfelt yike.]
But he's right. Do you know how boring it gets when people aren't talking to us? I like seeing people and hearing what you're up to. It almost feels normal again.
[but he'll let that part of the conversation go. he'll figure out what to do with ray later.]
Ahaha, then I'm happy to talk to you. It's been really busy. I guess I should mention that I suuuuper wanna join your followers, but Cheri thinks it'd be too obvious if that's where I went.
I want to... I'm loyal at the end of the day, I think. We made a promise when this all first started.
[ . . . ]
But - he said that he'll understand if, by the end, I need to go to the team that'll let me win. So if that's yours... I hope you won't mind taking me in then.
...he's very kind that way. He doesn't always understand people's choices, I think, but he understands loyalty and I think he'd want what's best for you, too. And besides, even if I win, he'd be one of the people I want at my side helping me rule anyway. We both benefit that way.
We'll have to see how the numbers fall in the next couple of weeks. We're halfway by now.
Just because I don't have a reason to be doesn't mean I'm not. It's still anyone's game and...I'm worried about people going after my followers more than anything.

[now that it's halfway, and not just the start.]
You don't really have a lot of reason to be... but we've seen how quickly just a week can change things.

... um, some of them told me too. Who they are, and how they follow you.
And I thought... that it's really nice, that they have you.
