No, I don't think so, either. Has to be big. Maybe as big as that damn "universe" that the Dorm Wars are promising.
[Which he still doesn't believe in. It seems too far-fetched...but then again, isn't everything in this place far-fetched.]
[He gazes at Sakyou, his gaze following his to the blade, then back to Sakyou again. His expression hardens - the best option would be the vote, yes. But at the same time...]
Hm.
[Whatever thought he has is unsaid, as he gazes down at their hands. Sakyou's grip is...comforting. Its so strange, because he's learned so much about Sakyou, about how deep the rage goes, how sharp his determination is, and yet...he can't see him as anything but a place of solace. Its funny, how running towards a person who is all too similar to yourself can actually make you feel...at peace.]
We will have to see what happens. In the meantime, we know a little more. We'll...know even more. And we...have to do our best to keep everyone safe.
[Yeah, he also still doesn't believe it! So he thinks it might be something else, considering Rupert and Byleth both seem to be pretty level-headed people...
He doesn't bother voicing that aloud for now, though.]
A little more is better than nothing at all. But that should be our biggest priority - keeping as many people safe as possible. Getting as many out of here alive as we can.
[He Can and he Will stake his life on it, even though he won't be happy about having to tap out of his personal vengeance quest. God. He hates it here!! After a moment though, he'll raise their hands a little, looking back.]
...Still. I wasn't aware the two of you were so close. I'm sorry that you have to experience such a thing...
[Once again, ruminating over that though. Keep people safe. They have to keep people safe. But there are still killers out there, and it's getting harder to just sit back, enjoy classes, and think about them roaming free.]
[...]
[He pulls his hands out of the grip, only to shift them back again, palm to palm, intertwining their fingers. He looks...sullen.]
...A Servant always serves their Master, you know? And I was happy. She always treated me kindly. [And a long pause.] Even now, I still can't put it together. The Byleth that I knew, and Byleth the killer. It seems wrong.
[A pause.]
This place really brings out the worst of us, doesn't it, Sakyou...?
[Sullen and dour, their matching expressions! Sakyou looks distant for a moment, but doesn't pull his hands away. His fingers curl, careful, and his eyes fix onto them briefly.]
It does. But the worst parts of us are still us.
[Sometimes, you can be kind and also a ruthless killer! That honestly describes like 90% of the people here, wow, awful.
But he's feeling sore about Byleth still, so he'll just sit on any softer sentiment and keep it to himself.]
I don't think it's impossible to like and dislike a person at the same time, for the many things they do.
