Even if we can't swap teams, the rulebook says "there can only be one team standing at the end of the competition," right?
Before the pink voice-- [WHY IS THE VOICE PINK] -- took over everything, we were already competing through completing Shadows', Heart's and Winter's tasks.
I wonder if there's a workaround by looking at the competition through that lens, instead of one that involves murder?
That begs the question of 'what is the end of the competition' though. Is there a time limit? Is it like 'survive six weeks, and the team with the most points at the end wins'? Because if it's that then we can all avoid killing, I think.
It's gonna happen at some point. Someone already used their power on you. And I know you like running headfirst at problems but I'd like to see you alive on the other side of that.
[He's not telling Akira to stop, just that he's ready to punch a ho if they try anything.]
. . . I plan on being alive on the other side of it, don't worry.
And we don't know why someone used their power on me. They could've just been testing it out, or maybe they were irritated at me trying to be optimistic. That doesn't mean they want me dead.

But what about our team leaders? Do they need to be eliminated for one team to win?

You know, I think it's an idea worth bringing up to the directors.

[akira hopes for the best, but. . . he isn't naive]
I think it's a little too late to hope that nobody else here will die.

...and don't say a damn thing, I'm not a risk this time.
no subject
[just. . . gives Chuuya a Look]
First off: no, we're not doing that, because it's impossible to tell who is risky and who isn't and I am not killing anyone.
Second: you promised me you wouldn't and I'm taking you at face value. Of course you're not a risk.

[Murder is the third step, not the first!]
And...good, yeah. Because I won't kill, so long as it's not needed.
no subject
It won't be needed.

I refuse to believe that it will be.

So let's not worry about it for now.
Sit down and eat some pancakes with me.
no subject
You have to try them first.
[Partially because he made them for Akira, and partially because he's pretty sure it won't taste right.]
no subject
They taste just fine.
[not the BEST but like. good pancakes!! because pancakes are just inherently good]
no subject
[He is. Instantly not suspicious or grumpy, he's taking Akira's praise as a truth.]
no subject
[he takes another bite to prove it!]
There are too many for me to eat them all by myself, so help a guy out, here.
