[ jay is, for obvious reasons, laying low mostly after the investigation. one of the few times he slips out of 112 he just happens to run into a familiar face.

he just scowls at andersen. ]

Comments

[ninjay]

We knew we were most likely going to die as soon as we agreed to do this, Andersen. None of us expected to be liked or thanked.

[ he shakes his head. ]

Speaking of shoes though... all of you can judge us, but it means nothing since none of you were in our position. You can all claim that you would never have chosen to do what we did, but that's the thing about life. You never know what you're going to do until the moment comes.

[ninjay]

That's you. There's still other people here.

[ andersen isn't the only one mad at them. ]

I spoke to Kaito a few days ago about this. I asked him if, before all of this happened, did he think he would have agreed to something like this. He said no, never, it would have been unthinkable. And I believe him. [ kaito's been through a lot. ] Yet things still turned out this way.

[ninjay]

I don't know. The word "choice" seems to be coming up a lot, so that would be my best guess.

[ or his apparently crush or whatever the hell that is he has on girge, but. jay does not voice that one out loud. ]

[ninjay]

It's not your only one.

[ he tilts his head. ]

I really don't know you well enough to start guessing at what your main reason was though.

[ninjay]

You are aware of how ridiculous that sounds, right?

[ andersen. andersen, pls, look at what happened the last time he had a deal with you. ]

[ninjay]

This isn't getting any less suspicious.

[ it's even more suspicious. ]

I don't see the "deal" part yet.

[ninjay]

You can always wait until tomorrow to attempt to kill me, you know.

[ oh well. he doesn't care. ]

Fine.

[ninjay]

[ UGH I GUESS

WE'RE GOING TO THE LOUNGE jay hopes it's poison ]

[ninjay]

Green, maybe.

... I don't drink a lot of it.

[ninjay]

... It's fine, I guess.

[ninjay]

[ he presses his lips into a thin line. ]

There was no reason for it anymore.

[ninjay]

[ jay... actually looks a little sick at the line of questioning. ]

There was just no longer a need for it.
