[after feeding the gray bunny, it heads into the hallway, giving yasusada temporary access to follow it to the door marked with a new moon. the door swings open for the bun, who hops on inside to make itself comfortable; it's a standard office, with a desk that has a single chair across from it.
black shadows isn't seated, though, lingering near the office window and just staring out of it until they hear the door open.]
...Yamatonokami Yasusada. Please sit if you'd like.

[But here is a Yasusada, shuffling into the office!! He didn't go get tea this time--but he nods at Black Shadows slightly, sitting down. Can he have bunbun in his lap, he needs comfort.]
How are you doing, Kage-kun?
[Firstly.]

[If he lives long enough he'll eventually write in Akechi's name
Anyway. Yasusada appreciates the bunbun!! He's surprisingly gentle as he pets her ears, looking at Black Shadows through his bangs.]
Mm. [...Is there any point in beating around the bush? That's not really his style.] Kage-kun... have you all really been telling us the truth?
[He thinks he's been pretty open about wanting to trust them, and it's clear that what happened Thursday night was an accident. But everything else...]
I just... don't understand. If it's accident that we're here, why do we have powers that are meant to do harm?

...knew this could all be a possibility.
[they shake their head, hood tilted down.]
Tried to avoid it. Wouldn't happen if none died. Were afraid saying so could encourage some to act.
And powers aren't made only to harm. Can be used other ways. Can go unused completely. Not mandatory to use.

[Don't think he missed the fact that there wasn't a direct "yes" or "no". He's here because he's willing to hear them out, because he wants to understand--but he isn't that oblivious.
In a complete opposite scenario of the castle, this time, he's not sure what else his powers could be good for. Self-defense, perhaps, but it's not like he needs an advantage there.]
And now... it's a cycle, isn't it? That's what Yuki-kun said.

[Right... the competition...
Bunbun gets a nose boop, if she'll allow it.]
...Don't answer if it will hurt you. [Just, putting that out there.] But, how many cycles have there been, before this?

[None? Yasusada glances up, brow furrowed in tired confusion.]
Then... how do you know it's a cycle?
Then... how do you know it's a cycle?
[Hm. Yasusada's quiet for a moment.]
...Who wrote the rules? [And if they can't answer that--] Are there more, that we can't see?
...Who wrote the rules? [And if they can't answer that--] Are there more, that we can't see?
[He looks a little disappointed, hearing that. Even if they're in gentler words, it's basically the same as what Beau told him they'd said to someone else.
Softly--]
...Can't we cleanse it, somehow?

...Can't we cleanse it, somehow?
[That's... not at all what he wants to hear, wow. He's quiet for a long time, staring down at his lap. Eventually, very carefully, he tries to pick up the bunny--if he can, he'll hold it against his chest.]
...If it is, then I can't go home.
[It's not like he expects Black Shadows to have an answer for that, but--he's saying it anyway, because this is a truth he won't try to deny.
He can't bring this kind of thing anywhere near Kashuu. He won't.]

[Again, Yasusada's quiet. This isn't like the castle, where he could look to Okita any time he was uncertain, any time he couldn't untangle the mess of feelings inside of him. He isn't alone here, but... it's not the same.
Eventually he nods, though, letting the rabbit down.]
...I want to trust you. [He can't say for sure that he does, anymore. But he isn't nearly as angry at the three of them as some of the others in the camp. More than anything, he's just... exhausted.
But there are others he needs to speak with, and he's sure there's a line out the door of people who want to yell at the Directors, so. He sets bunbun gently on the floor and stands up again.] I'll visit again, okay?

Will try to be deserving of it.
[their head bows, there, in what's not quite a bow but not just a nod. they understand anyone having reservations, about all of them, and that they can't anticipate just... being trusted like that.]
Please take care. Remain safe.

[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and down to the door marked as 3A CONFERENCE ROOM. granting yasusada access to the hallway temporarily. the door swings open for the bunny and as yasusada approaches he'll find a relatively cozy space. a couch pushed against one wall, a whiteboard on the wall opposite to the door, and a low circular table with beanbag chairs set around it. there is a water cooler and snack shelf in one corner of the room, and decorative plants can be found here and there.
yasusada will spot winter sitting up on a beanbag chair that has been dragged over to the corner with the cooler and snacks, their knees drawn up as they swish the contents of a paper cup around. they look up as the blue bunny hops over to their side, reaching out with one hand to pet the bunny.]

...Hi.
[Yasusada has brought A Tea. Maybe someday he'll bring a snack instead, but for now, this is all he knows, okay, let him live.
He shuffles into the office, looking at Winter Wizard with concern. Have they changed their gloves? He'll hold out the tea even if they haven't tbh.]
Yuki-kun...

Yuki-kun...
[the tea is appreciated. it looks like they changed out of their previous outfit, or perhaps magicked the blood away, because their dress and gloves look clean. the conference room doesn't smell like blood, either.]
...Thanks. [they will put down the paper cup to take the tea when it's offered to them.] You can grab a bean bag chair, if you'd like.

[Yasusada hovers for a minute, like he wants to do--something. Anything, really. But he can't think of anything helpful, so he just nods shuffling back. He shuffles over to a bean bag chair, tilting his head at it curiously, before he just sort of. Awkwardly drops down into it, sitting with his legs gracelessly splayed. WHAT IS THIS THING he doesn't get it.
Anyway.]
I hope no one's been angry with you. We all saw that you were forced.

[SOUNDS FAKE.
But Yasusada stares at them, brow furrowed. Probably there's a nicer way to ask this, but he has no filter.]
What happened out there?
[do you need him to go kill regina george]
