Giving up never got us anywhere. But I can't tell you either way. Whatever you choose is going to be the right decision for you and...I'm playing for us, too. So we have an extra advantage that way.
[...but it's clear he's just as worried as the rest of them, so that's real reassuring.]
Of course. I still trust you guys more than anybody else in this game...but I trust Winter and Shadows, too. So try to talk to them when you can. They could use some new friends, too. And you're helping look after the others right?
You always do. [sound less fond, junpei.] They need somebody to keep them together. I dunno if you've noticed? But our friends are kind of a bunch of hot messes. [himself included, but it's fine.]
[she says this but also in the future they're busy with tonbo's tiddies so what's the truth here. but since that's the future, he just grins lightly and holds up his hands as if to say "no offense."]
I know, I know. Your position's even harder than mine. I can admit that.
...well yeah, but...[no he can't actually discount that, shit.] I kept secrets from you guys for a while on the ship too, remember? I've had some practice.
Sure... But I trusted you then, and I trust you now.
When you keep secrets, it seems like it's just for self-preservation, right? It's normal to want to look out for yourself when you're in a dangerous situation.
Yeah...and some of the things I'm not telling you guys now are to protect the five of you. [he can admit that much.] There are things I may be able to say to you later, but I don't...know when that is.
That's okay. That just means I'll have to keep checking back.
I guess that only leaves me wondering... For now, should we be acting under the assumption that what we know so far is accurate? A lot of people are worried that if we take things at face value right now, there will just be a twist in the end that changes everything...
...considering what happened to us last time, that's not exactly an unnecessary worry. [DEMONS.] But I don't know. As far as I know now, what we've said is accurate. But things change. I just don't know how yet, or even if they really will.
A lot of you seem determined to change them though anyway.

So if your team loses, you're at the same risk as the rest of us?

I don't know about that... I'm struggling with only having a couple secrets, but you have to keep a lot more stuff quiet...
