[He's going to slow his walking as he glances away from Akira, instead looking out over all the cabins nearby. Gotta make sure nobody's eavesdropping.]
Wei Wuxian told me more about what happened there.
You know how all the dead in the murder mansion came back at the end, after we fought the house?
[Somehow he's not surprised Akira heard that, but hearing confirmation just makes his expression fall.
It's one Akira should be familiar with. It's the one he had after Dazai's execution. Wounded, upset.
Scared.]
Yeah, see? They left their friends there to rot. If they'd do that to their friends, then they're not gonna give two shits about us. And even if they suddenly had a change of heart and said "oh we'll help you", I can trust someone who'd abandon their friends so easily.
[Chuuya's circle of protection is probably a lot narrower than Akira's, but the sentiment is still there. He can't trust other people to keep them safe, so he'll do the protecting.]
I'm not gonna go starting fights with them or anything, but I'm not gonna rely on them either.
[Akira himself can be slow to trust, and even he has a small niggling of doubt at how well he can trust the other people here. but. . . he wants to try]
[because he knows working together is the only way for them to succeed]
As long as our groups don't fight, then. . . it should be okay.
[It's hard to keep a positive attitude when things went so terribly last time.]
No hiding objects this time either. We can't talk powers or team colors, sure, but items we should be able to share with each other. There's no repeats of what happened with Dazai last time.
[He still feels betrayed over what happened there.]
...the group with the demons, they said the demons lied to them. They thought the demons were telling them how to get out, but they were actually trapping them in.
We lucked out. The girls really did want to help us. Not everyone was as lucky as we were.

The ones from that sex demon boat are the ones that can't be trusted.

Date: 2020-06-08 05:36 pm (UTC)I never asked them why those who had died had to be left behind.
[. . .]
But regardless of why, I won't allow that to happen to anyone here. I won't.

We'll have to play their game too. To get those items, like we got last time.
[Assuming that this camp and the mansion run similarly, with minigames.]
