...I'm going to try and save him. [Love doesn't bother moving since they think maybe Yu also needs this too? It's fine.] It's one of my powers, I can probably figure out a way to unbind them before Itachi-san's execution. I just need a little time.
[ For a long moment Yu says nothing; he seems beyond speech. But he turns his head, nosing at warm cloth where hair would be if that hood were down, if his god were unmasked. It's an almost too-fond gesture, and he has to pull in a slow breath afterward to collect himself. ]
...I don't know yet. Stay? [Both here and on their team.] So much is dependent on if I can really do this. So many of you ask me if there are things you can do and I never really have a great answer.
They won't. [Well that sucks.] It's going to get worse as people grow more nervous about what's going on, but we have to stay levelheaded. We're going to need people who can keep everybody on track.

...thank you. But seriously, are you okay? The trial got kinda heated.

The look on his face is ... complicated, when they look at him, but he'll nod. ]
I'm fine. I don't expect they'll get any less heated, as we go forward.

Please lean on me if you need to, Love. You have to be strong for so many people. Don't forget that you don't need to take all of this on alone.
