Now's not really the time [people are dead? senri hasn't forgotten], so I guess that's why I want to get it out of the way but... Madopyon is funny. She said to me earlier 'it'd be sad if you met someone here, and had to go home, and couldn't see them again.' But at that point I thought that Tamaki already turned me down...
[ . . . ]
He still agreed to go on a date with me last night, and it was really fun. We pretended it was a dream, for just a little bit.
... after that, I'm starting to think maybe it wasn't as simple as I thought it was... but I can't change anything about it either. So I just... don't want him to be alone, after all the kindness he's shown to me....
[I'm so sorry. Sincerity is gripping Senri's cheeks and pulling them apart for a moment before he let them go.]
Let me get this straight. You had a good time, so instead of spending the time you can spend with him before this is all over, you're going to avoid him?
That's all the more reason why you have to resolve this!
[can't believe sincerity is giving senri advice on his love life when people are dead but here we go]
If you don't do something about it, you're always going to wonder about what might have been. That's not fair to you, or to him, or to your boyfriend, either!
That's what the date was for!! We already did that part!
[the worst part is that they totally think alike in that regard and that's already crossed off senri's checklist]
It's just - you know, after the whole 'let's be honest' cute romcom montage scene, when you realize that it can't happen? And then it's just the part where it... stings a little... We're gonna be friends but - just after a little bit of time...
Are you really going to be okay with it? Going back home a few weeks from now, knowing there was time you spent with him that you could have spent, but didn't?
I don't want you to leave this place with any regrets.
[no senri likes the attention because he loves cheri]
.... I don't want to hurt him more than I already have. So I think - I'll give him a day or two. We'll be busy with trial tomorrow anyway but... next week, I'll definitely see him again.
Because we're friends, and he's important to me, and I don't want to lose him.
I also just... don't want to make him have to deal with any lingering feelings either, you know?
Did you decide on your own to give him space, or did you talk about it and decide that together?
Because if it were me... even if it was a little awkward, I wouldn't want to miss a single moment with you, especially if you'd be going back home in a few week.
The only "should" or "shouldn't" when it comes to love is you shouldn't decide things on your own, and you should decide them by talking to everyone involved.
It's a two way street. Or, heck - maybe even a three-way street! Some people are into that.
Ugh, which one? I still have to tell you about the one Sasuke and I had after you left. And then Yu took me out on Tuesday. Bakaomi confessed on Wednesday. Thursday was Tamaki....
[except he's rattling it off in that way where he's trying not to be as happy about the attention as he is.... and then he laughs]
Oh, I'm all right! I'm not worried. We're only halfway through this, you know. Once I've got you back on my team, we'll take this whole thing by storm.
Soon, hopefully....! Sasuke is really paranoid about me defecting - though that actually reminds me that I wanted to make sure about that.
[he pulls out his coin again - slightly tarnished]
I asked Justice already, and all this means is that it shows how many times I defected right - if someone else's coin is more tarnished than mine, that means they defected more? I think Sasuke's worried that something will happen to me if I defect too many times, but I wanted to make sure to ask you.
Oh, that old thing? All it does is show if you've defected. It gets a little messier each time you do.
[Sincerity nods.]
Bingo, you got it! If someone's coin is more messed up than yours, you know they've defected more times. If someone's coin is just as bright and shiny as ever... it means they've never left their god.
See? That's what I thought - ugh, he's so nervous for no reason. I get that it's because he's worried about me, but it's stupid.
[he puts the coin back away.....]
Okay... Then I'll go once I'm sure Seanbon [pronounced like bonbon] is safe. I know Madopyon will probably stick with you, so I'm not as immediately worried, but I don't know anyone else on Justice....
It might not be easy to figure it out this week [thanks for the shitty rule, fortune] but you're a socialite. If anyone can figure out who's where, it's you.
Try to find the others in Justice. If you coordinate the rules you make, it could work to your advantage.

I'm - dating someone else now, Cheriiii!

Bakaomi's waaaaay too jealous for that.

Can gods hurt each other? Or is it just - a participant is the only one that could do this to one of you?
