Speak to others this weekend in the trial…look for tells of people you wish to investigate further, and we may be able to find a way to use the ability. Secrets only stay secret for so long, Mizuki-san. I'm confident in your skills that you'll find a way to make use of this.
[…but yeah. His expression shifts from surprise to relief and there are tears in his eyes again? Lord.] …thank you. Though my heart is burdened, it's a little less with Mizuki-san at my side.
[Shut up, Tamaki. But…] What about your wish though? If we don't win somehow?
[ that smile becomes a little softer, and they reach out again, a little hesitantly, to brush away those tears with a knuckle. ]
Are you worried about me? [ Mizuki laughs, a little bitterly. If he really cared about their wish, then why did he bring them here at all? No, they shouldn't think like that... ] ... After this is over, I'll be going back where I came from, right? I can still fulfill my wish on my own.
[ it will probably cost them their life, and 8 others, too, but their resolution hasn't wavered in the least. ]
[Thanks for that.] Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be?
[Still, even Tamaki's not short-sighted enough to see how bad this looks. He works on composing himself again, remembering that he's in a power position as a god and should maybe be a little more mature about this.] Even so...doing so on your own sounds complicated. I would like to make that easier on you as you deserve.
[Also that would be a lot of dead people and he likes them too much to let himself think of that sort of risk.] You'll all return as you were, yes. Right in the same place, right at the same time. That doesn't mean there isn't time for a strategic outcome...but I've never been the one to execute plans correctly. That was always Kyoya.
[Another name, it seems.] I'll be watching the trial myself. Between the two of us, perhaps we can figure something out for early in the week.
[ he might be a god, but they still want to take care of him, too... when he looks like this, it's easy to forget he's got any kind of power. That was the reason for the masks and everything else, they suppose.
It would certainly be easier to have their lifelong problem fixed with a metaphorical wave of a magic wand. They're still not sure they really believe this can stop the broadcasts. It's too convenient - too fantastical. Maybe that's why they haven't been as desperate as they should. They nod. ]
I had plans of my own. Honestly, this almost feels like cheating, after all the hard work I put in. [ finding a rank in the company, being allowed to chase this case personally and put themself in as an agent -- it wasn't easy. ] But that's the spirit. You don't need to come up with a plan on your own. I'm with you, remember?
Hard work should be acknowledged all the same, you know. I would never take that away from you, even if your focus of where the work should lie has changed since being here. [Working to get out of this game versus working on the broadcast at home, he means. It's commendable.] I know you are...truthfully, I would be lost without you. So thank you for staying even if we're in the middle of the ranks right now.
I promise you I'll do what I can to change that. [Determination!] We have time. That's all we need.

I CANT TAKE THOSE ICONS SERIOUSLY
