Considering we started with 32? Yeah. [... ] It means things are starting to come to a close. The ending...it's likely we really don't have a choice anymore except to pick one person.

[And like. Other stuff. Haha.]

[leaberator]

... Yeah. [ it's quiet, because he'd pretty much accepted it in the past week, but that doesn't mean he's any more okay with it. ] But you know that's not what I'm talking about, right?

[cyclists]

....yeah. I've kind of suspected that's what it meant for a while.

[leaberator]

You know I'm not going to let that happen.

[cyclists]

[...] I told Saix to talk to Milla. And then Milla shared the news and now she's dead. Is that really a coincidence, you think?

[leaberator]

[ yes because she shared it after ooc death limit. but axel frowns ]

... It can be. There's her own role to consider, too.

[cyclists]

[Haha.]

Shess asked me about that, too. Did you ever talk to her about that?

[leaberator]

A couple of times. I didn't ask her who she'd picked for this week.

[cyclists]

Like I told Shess. The nature of her murder will be revealed if you search enough. [... ] She told me she went to talk to you though last weekend. What's she say?

[leaberator]

[ he hums. but at that, he... shrugs. ]

Well, she kinda got it backwards. I went to talk to her about the stuff I was gonna talk about Monday, and... that was about it.

[cyclists]

[...fair enough. Now that he thinks about it, that makes sense, too.]

You still don't really see eye to eye with her on stuff, do you?

[leaberator]

[ uh. ]

I got nothing against her.

[cyclists]

[He shakes his head. But...moving away from the Milla subject.]

...I'm going to do my best to keep Lune safe. And the rest of you. So I'll be fine. [Apparently if you believe hard enough, you won't get stabbed.]

[leaberator]

Yeah, you will be.

[ with the confidence of someone who will personally make sure of it, ha ha ]

[cyclists]

...Saix and I argued about this a few weeks ago. He wanted to try and find a way to stay awake and protect people, including me. I told him no, and now he's trying to tell me I was wrong. [It's. Strange. It sort of makes sense but it's strange.]

[leaberator]

...You guys let other people stay awake, though, didn't you? For favors.

[ axel is not gonna say saix was right because that's false and cursed, but he is at least. curious about that part ]

[cyclists]

Uh huh. I wasn't against him getting a task to stay awake if someone went after you three or himself.

[leaberator]

But for you it wasn't worth it.

[ a beat ]

Yeeeeet.

[cyclists]

[...he flips off his hood and just stares up at him. Look at your son, who probably desperately wants a nap but now he's just kind of annoyed by today.]

I'm not telling Saix he was right about anything.

[leaberator]

[ well. now that the hood is off, it's time to hair ruffle ]

Well, that's fine, he wasn't. When's he ever been? It was silly to try an' protect you when you couldn't get hurt.

[cyclists]

Hey! [!! He's swiping at Axel's hand but he's mostly allowing that hair ruffle so that's a sign things are probably not so great. Ah well.]

That's what I tried to tell him. [...] He was right to try and protect you guys though. I'll admit that.

[leaberator]

[ hm. he lets his hand rest on roxas's head to make it a little headpat before removing it. he makes a face ]

Don't tell him that.

[cyclists]

[Thanks Axel. He's also making a face.] Still not planning on telling him that either. ...it's weird though. It's almost like we're kind of getting along.

[leaberator]

It's not that weird. You kinda get along with him back home, don't you?

[cyclists]

[Just. Making a face.] I guess. But that's different. He's not...like this back home.

[He gets along better with Isa than Saix, and yet. It's weird. There's a pause.]

...I don't know what to do next.
