Haha, certainly it'd be much more devastating to fail after achieving this kind of hope!

[He says it cheerfully but only because he knows he'd just fucking snap if that happened! And possibly reenter a state of catatonia so maybe it'll be fine either way. You can't be miserable if you're just not mentally present!]

But we've been doing well enough just putting one foot in front of the other this whole time.

[gatonina]

[me, reading that as a state of california and just nodding like a dumbass. but also, like, mood.]

It's how I survived all of the other games. Why should this be any different? [shrug!]

...how are the others? Do you know?

[givethemhell]

[yeah he's also just gonna leave for the state of cali if we badend]

Hah... What a thing to be an expert in. [He gives Junpei a very sympathetic look. As for that:]

Mm? I think just about everyone on this side is in a state of "well enough, or at least not dead" by this point.

[gatonina]

That's...well, I guess I'm not sure what else I expected, but at least we aren't any worse off than we started. That's what counts.

[givethemhell]

A bit telling that that's our method of determining how well off we are...

[IT'S SO SAD but he just raises his shoulders. THEM'S THE BREAKS.]

One foot in front of the next, ah?

[gatonina]

At least we know it's a good basis for judgment don't we? [NOT REALLY.] One foot in front of the next until we can all just collapse on the ground and not move for a while. That's my end goal.

[givethemhell]

[NOT REALLY, AT ALL, but he just laughs.]

Ah! Mine, too. I'd like to take a nice coma at the end of this all.

[Just

not even a nap. A wholeass coma.]

[gatonina]

Uh...you don't think that's a little too extreme?

[givethemhell]

Nope. Several weeks of unconsciousness sounds good to me.

[We are only extreme in this house.]

[gatonina]

...this is somehow even more concerning than most of the things I know about you.

[givethemhell]

[HE JUST RAISES HIS HANDS.]

If you don't want to be unconscious for a few weeks after this, I'd be surprised.

[gatonina]

You really think anyone's gonna let me even if I ask?

[givethemhell]

Want me to try dragging you to my world? Nobody gives me trouble; you'll be fine wherever I put you.

[He says this teasingly, though. He knows Junpei's got a wildass world waiting for him...]

[crashout]

To be honest? I'm sort of afraid if I went back to your world you'd actually put me in the ground.

[givethemhell]

My days of burying people are over, fortunately for you!

[This is a terrible triple-pronged joke since 1) he buries his son like a radish, 2) he buries all his dead loved ones and 3) he buries all his enemies.]

[crashout]

...I know you meant for that to sound reassuring but somehow that's still terrifying.

[givethemhell]

Hm, hm... No idea why you'd think that!

[NONE AT ALL.]

[crashout]

Your insistence that you wouldn't isn't exactly the most comforting either.
