[ my (m/17) boyfriend (sexless/ageless) got me possessed by a demon, killed my family, ended the world, and then killed me. he seems lonely, should i get back with him?
love yourself akira. but harrow doesn't know this and assumes ryo is just an asshole of her own caliber.]
I suppose this puts a wrench in things. And yet - it would be most pragmatic for me to tell you to give up, and remove you and he from the competitors. But if I were in your shoes, I would take the chance. Perhaps there is a request other than a return to life that he would answer.
It's very funny. By far, the first person to give him any kind of optimistic reassurance about pressing forward has been Harrow. Of all people. He finally glances at her, surprised.]
[Which may put them at odds for a competition's invitation, but he can appreciate it.]
I think she likes you even though she gives you a time. She was always near you somewhere at the party. [Wait, this makes him think about something else.] Uh... sorry about the kiss.
[oh if ryo was like 'harrow found it unusual we weren't together so we need to always curfew together' and that conversation never happened that would be very funny.
but also maybe i said something at trial i simply don't remember.]
Yes. I didn't expect to be trapped, either. Fortunate that I was in my room. Less fortunate that Waters was present.

He wouldn’t be. It’s… [He looks away again, at the fire.] It would be bad for other people if Ryo found out who he was.
no subject
I...see.
[she doesn't, except she sees that akira's worry is that ryo is dangerous.]
But he is your friend.
no subject
He does not answer or look at her for a too long moment.]
We’re… trying again.

That's true... Maybe I'll... keep going then.

Provided you have the stomach to compete. Decide your path once you've achieved victory.

I'll have to build my tolerance up. It might be what all the bars are for... and if not, they're useful that way.
[Anyhow, he's a good boy, so:]
Thanks.

It is nothing.

What about you? You and Gideon.

Well. He is a clever man, I think. You have an advantage, to be able to rely on one another here. I should hope Gideon and I share that advantage.

She has her reasons for staying close. [...] You are forgiven. It was a dare.
no subject
Ryo said you thought it was weird I wasn't with him when we got locked in.
no subject
I didn't find it especially unusual but I do find it valuable to track patterns. Was there a reason?
no subject
Not really. I didn’t think we were gonna be trapped, and I didn’t have any plans to be with him then.

…I felt that way with my roommate.
