[if lambda is right, then this decision only stings more. to know that the best way to get rid of all of them would really have been to erase buzen first, and watch the rest crumble.
he's never been in danger of losing his life because of someone else before. he's not sure what to think of it,]
...It's difficult to tell who would or wouldn't.

Maybe I'd have a better idea, if I opened my heart to others like Buzen had.
I don't know if someone who opens their heart like Buzen would either.
[ someone who cares too much, someone who tries to help so much, someone who tries to see the good too much others also sometimes fail to see what they should. she thinks buzen is perceptive in his own way, but he's also so head empty. ]
But it could also be because he is an immortal or because he is a tsukumogami. It's hard to say unless we can narrow it down, and it's difficult to infer motive with evidence alone.
Much in the way so many people accused you last week when I thought it was clear it wasn't you.
I'm not sure which reason I'd prefer. [in that either one will validate rang's hatred in some way. for humans, for other spirits, for everyone at all] But you're right. We shouldn't make assumptions.
[maybe it was from some other wild ass reason (in fear of my life),
there's a beat, then. quietly. as if he doesn't want to ask at all, because he's too afraid of who it might turn out to be and that it's wild that even after this, that he can trust in someone. if he doesn't think of it as trust, and turns it instead in something he can understand -- with lambda in particular, then he can manage it. he thinks. he can fool himself into thinking that this isn't a bad deal, just a desperate one.]
Lambda. [...] I'd like your help when we check people for injuries. I'll pay the price you deem fit in return.
[ she can't keep the ripple of surprise from reflecting in her emotions. she didn't think rang would ask this of anyone, of how little affection and trust he seems to hold for anyone. she doesn't know just how bad a state matsui is in. ]
I don't mind helping you check, but I do think you'll have enough people resisting to be checked if last week was any indication.
[ does she think buzen have a higher chance of leaving an injury than rin? yes? does she think people will still resist the check? yes? does she also think there are still too many people with access to healing psychs? also yes. ]
[ if he wants the strip check to be any use, if it'll be any use, he shouldn't fight.
hope he knows lambda will help him check others for injuries but she won't submit to the check herself. ]
If this group had been more willing to do it last week, I would agree. But you can make enough arguments for it that people will at least show their arms and legs.

They're dedicated to each other, but I don't think Buzen wouldn't follow Matsui if he broke even if Buzen could be convinced to stay.
[ since all buzen ever seems to want to is to help others. ]
If that is the reason, that is strategic. And if that is the reason, that could narrow the suspect pool down.

[how very hypocritical of him to say this, and yet. maybe he's looking forward to committing violence at the strip check,]
And if they keep resisting, then that's a sign in of itself, isn't it?
