Actually... I was going to ask - could you skip my wish? And just give Ray-kun a slightly bigger wish? I know it's not an exact science but... I thought I'd mention it.
But if you don't join me and your small wish is that he gets a little more out of his wish, that's fine. Or, if you know what his wish is and you join me, just tell me that's your wish. I can do exactly what he would have asked for if someone on my team is asking for it, you know. It doesn't have to only apply to your world.
I'll check in with everyone at the end - and see how they feel. If they won't get mad at me for joining you... I think I will. But I have to wait to figure the rest out. I've been trying to get them to believe in you as much as I can but... ah, some people are stubborn.
[and senri feels painfully loyal to too many people]
... either way, it feels weird to me - when I like so many of you, and I can't just - join all of your teams. But -
[she tosses her hair over her shoulder, finally able to do that since she isn't wearing a hood and a mask right now.]
The easiest way to get them to believe in me is to get them to actually give me the time of day outside of a trial.
[she's. just saying.]
It won you over when you actually bothered to talk with me, didn't it? And you convinced me to change my mind abut some things. I'm sure if you try you can change theirs too.
... I've been trying. [it's quiet, but] I'll keep trying.
I don't want you to have to push yourself to grant everyone's wishes out of some stupid request if it's not possible - but it'd be easier for you to grant even more wishes if people were on your team at the end to begin with, right? So if I want the greatest number of wishes granted... sort of thing. I just... haven't been able to figure out what that looks like yet.
Connor-san said he might want to have a meeting... I'll try to talk about it then.
[senri always talks smh but when he'll glance over to her in between steps of the facial and give her a smile]
But... I'm happy that I'm your friend, Bambi. You've grown up a lot - we both have. Seeing you happy again... I think that's already the best gift of this week.
Small wishes... should be okay. But the more people I have at the end, the more things I'll be able to do. That's true.

We've talked to you about divine oaths before, right? They're absolutely binding. If we swear one, there's no way out of it. And when this contest was designed, we all swore that the members of the winning team would have their hearts' desires granted to them.
We didn't make any kind of provision for the people on the teams that didn't win, but...
[she's. thinking about it.]
The fewer of them that there are, the more we'll be able to do. It's one thing to do a few extra wishes for two or three people. It's something else entirely to do them for fourteen or fifteen, you know?
...I guess I have grown, since I've been thinking about this. I wouldn't have thought about it at the start.
.... there's no loophole, right? No 'I wish for more wishes' sort of thing? Like if I was on the winning team and my hearts' desire was for everyone else to get their wishes too...? I figure not but... [might as well ask?]
But no... that makes sense. The math makes it tough. [SENRI HATES MATH SO MUCH AFTER THIS GAME]
Maybe if we put our heads together we can find something....
Thanks for thinking about it, Bambi. If you need help trying to figure it out, let me know...? I can at least bring it back to everyone else when we talk - and if there's no trial this weekend, that'll give me even more room to talk about it.
[she's fabulous, she knows, but loopholes are someone else's specialty]
Ugh, there better not be a trial this weekend. If someone gets all stabhappy even after I went out of my way to make that rule, I'm going to be mad. But since people are still afraid of me, apparently, maybe they'll be too afraid of my punishment to try.
[if she hasn't been able to correct her bad reputation she'll milk it for all its worth if it means she doesn't have to preside over a trial :/]
If it's just me, I'd think it was impossible, but since her specialty is loopholes maybe she can come up with something.
[BIG SHRUG.]
...I haven't decided on that yet. But I will be really, really mad if someone decides to break it. So as long as no one decides to go out and kill someone for some utterly ridiculous reason, you don't have anything to worry about.
... she does owe me a favor anyway, I guess. I'll look into it.
[MIGHT AS WELL EXHAUST ALL OPTIONS]
Fingers crossed... [he says as if he did not co-sign sasuke going off and doing his thing last week] I'd like to be able to relax at least a little more on Saturday. I know some people wanna meet to figure out how to get the game to end so...
Ah, we should have a party at the end of all this.

I told you I'd make it back to the top with or without them, didn't I? It was scary at first, but... I managed.
no subject
You did... I'm really proud of you.
[and he sounds sincere about that]
I'm glad - that you have people who are loyal to you. You deserve to have good friends like that.
[ . . . well, he sounds a little more thoughtful toward the end, like he's thinking about something, and struggling with it a little]
no subject
She stares at him and waits for him to elaborate.]
no subject
... you wanted me to always be honest with you, right? So...
I just don't know if I can join you at the end. I'm not sure yet - for a couple reasons.
And I thought... I'd rather tell you that, than lie to you and say that I'm ready 100%.
[ . . . ]
But if you win... it's not like I'd be unhappy either.
no subject
[that's
not what he meant but okay, whatever, ambition]

Of course you will, Bambi.

Not impossible...? Well - I guess I'll see what I can do, then. I'll tell Dizzy you said hi.
[THAT'S FINE,,]

which is apparently cANON but i'm refusing to let her say it]
