[When Mizuki arrives in the costume hall, he'll find Sincerity sitting in a chair there. (The chair looks like it's been "borrowed" from the parlor.) The god has the tulip tucked behind one ear of the mask. Cute.]
Ah, I guess Nito-kun isn't your follower anymore, actually. But he still seems really determined to help you out. I'm surprised he didn't switch back to you.
Not particularly. I get the feeling that you'll stay with your current god, and that's a very good thing. I can trust that he'll be safe throughout this whole thing as long as you're with him.
Well, that's a given... I wasn't talking about that, though. [ a beat. ] It wasn't intentional, but I took one of your followers away from you. Actually, I was ready for you to yell at me when I came in here.
The way things are going... there may be a time when I'm not here to look after Sen-chan. He's got plenty of people looking after him already, of course, but you... have a more level head than most people here.
[ at that, they sigh through their nose, at once exhausted. ]
I've tried. He doesn't understand how the game works. He's so worried about protecting everyone that he's not going to be able to save anyone - himself included.
[ it's not like they want anything bad to happen to him - of course not. He's fine. Idealistic, but he's young; if he didn't throw himself into danger because of it all the time and pry into Mizuki's business, they'd have nothing against him. As things stand, however, they'd call their relationship cordial at best. ]
He doesn't listen to me, either, you know. The only one who thinks we're a "family" is Majima-kun.
Essentially, yeah. I won't lie and say I'm not fond of him - because I totally am - but do you have any idea how much of a mess it would be if something happened to him?
Like him or not, he's close to most of the people who are left. I don't think anyone wants to deal with the complete clusterfuck there'd be if he turned up dead some Friday.

WEEK 4
Mizuki-san! To what do I owe the pleasure?
no subject
[ TBH!!!!!! but they seem in good humor even so. tomorrow's going to be a shitshow - they may as well do some information gathering while they can. ]
But he did mention that you and Beauty-kun get along, so I thought I'd pay a visit for that reason, too. Beauty-kun is one of my favorites, after all.
no subject
Sincerity chuckles, sounding a little amused.]
Well, I am quite fond of them both. It's good you've stuck with him all this time, you know. He likes you a lot.
no subject
I know. [ he probably shouldn't, but they enjoy being around him too much to break the illusion. ] I like him a lot, too. He's a good person.

[ slightly teasing. ]
Ah, I guess Nito-kun isn't your follower anymore, actually. But he still seems really determined to help you out. I'm surprised he didn't switch back to you.
no subject
[BUT... it's hard to say about everyone else.
Sincerity shrugs lightly.] You know I can't confirm whether he has or hasn't, Mizuki-san. But I'm not worried about whatever his choices are.
no subject
[ well, not to him, at least. They pause, eyeing the mask for a few seconds. ]
... Are you worried about my choices, Sincerity-san?

[Sincerity keeps his tone light.]
But I wonder if I could ask a favor of you, in light of that.
no subject
It depends on what the favor is, but I'll hear you out. What is it?
no subject
Can I count on you to look after him if I cannot?

[ but it's the truth, as far as they're concerned - even if Senri doesn't want to live in reality. ]
What is it that you want me to do? Keep him alive...?
no subject
Like him or not, he's close to most of the people who are left. I don't think anyone wants to deal with the complete clusterfuck there'd be if he turned up dead some Friday.
no subject
Even though I just explained how he's getting himself killed and I can't stop him, you still want me to try, huh... The gods really are cruel.
[ they sigh, running a hand through their long hair. ]
no subject
[Sincerity shrugs.]
I wouldn't ask this of you if I didn't think you could do it.

I'll see what I can do.
