[ alex's understanding isn't in response to lambda's feelings necessarily. but to her words. like - yeah. that makes sense. how does a person just keep going if they need someone who's gone? and the understanding just makes her more worried. ]

But he has to try.

[diluvian]

[ that makes lambda smile, but it's devoid of any warmth or joy. ]

Not for too long, not for that kind of love. Not unless he can find a way to bring him back.

[camena]

But maybe he can.

Their souls aren't gone when they're erased. If his team—if they still won, somehow, they could bring them back.

[diluvian]

It'd have to be an easier and quicker method.

[ matsui doesn't hide his terrible mental health, or at least lambda thinks it's obvious. ]

You'll have to convince him of the likelihood of that when their team is down to two and when Rang is always going to behave like a pariah and the majority will leap on him. You'll have to convince him when Buzen isn't around to convince him.

[camena]

... I don't have that.

[ frustration and helplessness again. hey feeling powerless sucks actually. ]

But people—Rang's not that bad. He's just a weirdo, but he's not bad. People should know that by now.

[diluvian]

[ there's more of a softness to her emotions in response to that, but it's not by much. ]

I wouldn't go so far as saying he's not that bad, but all most people give him is more justification to act the way he does.

... Killing Buzen won't have helped that either.

[camena]

Well, they—he just—he needs to be less weird. But everyone else needs to be less... I don't know. Judgey.

[ she sighs, vaguely impatient at this, because she's always impatient when people don't see things the same way she does. ]

He was being nice today. People will notice.

[diluvian]

You can say he needs to less of an abrasive idiot.

[ but lambda's emotions feel gentler in response to alex's words, followed by surprise at what she says next. ]

He was nice?

[camena]

It's as if he, like, set out to make people hate him as fast as possible.

[ vaguely annoyed and confused by this because why would a person do such a thing. a mystery. ]

Yeah, I mean... He's looking out for Matsui?
