Anyway, so you were saying they're not your friends?

[ Let him just move this along and put things right. ]

[nodo]

They're not.

[ i hate this. ]

My crew are my crew. I trust them to do what's needed when I'm not around.

[ he sure did just also glaze over a few things but it's fine? ]

[mukagen]

... A crew is kind of like a family, right?

[ Gojou asks like he doesn’t know what that’s like. ]

[nodo]

[ stop this gojou. ]

Some people like to think of it as so.

[mukagen]

[ HE'S TRYING TO UNDERSTAND LAW. LIKE. GENUINELY. ]

So they're the merciful hand? Or... Did that hand help you get there?

[ Cause they did skip over shit since Gojou is so awful. ]

[nodo]

[ I'M CRYING......but they sure did. let's...rewind a bit. ]

It didn't quite happen the way you'd think. [ since there is going to large gaps of time but it's fine!! ] Someone did come to help me but it wasn't for years and they're not around anymore.

[ which is better...? ]

[mukagen]

[ For years... He supposes that's still a merciful hand. He pats Law's shoulder. ]

It looks like you got through all of it well. I'm sorry that I can't really say much—I'm actually awful at comfort and stuff.

[nodo]

[ law will allow it and just...give gojou a nod. ]

It's fine. I don't need to be comforted; it won't change with what happened.

[mukagen]

[ And Gojou will give a nod back. ]

You and I are kind of similar in that respect since I think the same thing. It's also why my wish isn't to bring him back.

[ His best friend. ]

[nodo]

[ oh.

hm. he'll laugh for a moment. ]

I hadn't even considered that to be a wish to be made.

[mukagen]

I did for a bit, but that's ridiculous; the present and future are for the living.

[ Gojou does not believe, at all, that they can bring back the dead, which is why his laugh... Is a little wry. ]

But... Some people are making that wish, Law.

[nodo]

[ present and future are for the living, is it? hmm. ]

And are they? I guess that's not too surprising.

[ oh the range of wishes that exist here tbh?? ]

Dream big or not at all.

[mukagen]

[ Law really be here going “people have such big brains” just for wishes. ]

That’s true. I’m also curious about the logistics of these wishes... How do they work? What if they’re granted, but in a certain way we don’t want?

[ Hmmm. ]

Thanks for not making this too weird. Did I say that yet?

[nodo]

[ NO!!! i mean. a lil'? he's surprised by the ratio of "selfless" wishes and selfish ones, tbh. ]

We still don't even know what the threshold is for deciding on who is the winner out of all of us. All we know is to keep indulging and maybe not get killed.

[ give him a hot sec. ]

No, you hadn't. [ hmm. ] But you don't have to worry about it; it wasn't as though you wanted to let it be known.

[mukagen]

[ For a second, he wonders if the answer is to kill, but he doesn’t voice it. ]

You really are chill about all of this... Even showing me a piece of your past, though it wasn’t your choice.

[ ... ]

If you had the ability to choose, would you have chosen something different?

[nodo]

Would you want me to make a scene of it? I didn't think you'd appreciate that.

[ just. saying??? ]

No, I think it's fine. [ would he have preferred it? maybe?? but atthe same time gojou didn't make it strange. ] Of the people who could have seen it, you're not a bad person for it.

[mukagen]

No, but I was prepared for it. Some people will always act before they think, even the calm and composed. The chances are pretty high.

[ They’ve seen it before here and, unfortunately, they’re going to see it again this weekend. ]

I’ve seen a lot! I suppose an embarrassing memory would have been worse since I have a lousy personality...

[ cause would he have let Law live...? ]

[nodo]

I try not to stand too close to the ground for that reason.

[ and it's not strictly "lone wolf" nonsense. law likes to try to keep his vision open on the bigger picture of things. whenever he can, at least. (though i, naru, have limitations.) ]

Your personality is no worse than my own. [ bluntly. ] I'm sure people find us aggravating in different ways.

[ admittedly gojou's personality is more "traditionally" annoying with how much of a gremlin he is. whereas law is just majorly indifferent to grumpy. ]

[mukagen]

I like your style!

[ Snaps and points at Law—the guy always seemed cool to him, though they're not fall apart in height. Something about Law is... Just bigger than life? In a different way than himself. ]

Hm... I don't really see you being lousy, at least upfront.

[ Gojou Satoru, does, however, like grumpies. ]

Though I guess a lot of people like being let in. That can be frustrating when they get stonewalled. I don't really mind that, though.

[nodo]

You think? I've heard quite the opposite.

[ moody, rude, a bit of a sadist...though the last one was more apparent when he was younger. ]

But I wonder if that's because you're also like that. There are a lot of people like that here, though, so don't feel too special.

[ you know, being someone who is hard to get close with for one reason or another. again still, gojou comes off as approachable at the very least. ]

[mukagen]

[ Moody, rude, and sadist are okay with Gojou, apparently. He is flippant and rude, not so much sadist unless he really dislikes someone. ]

So you're telling me that they pulled in a lot of people with lousy personalities... Tough guys, all of us.

[ Gojou really is approachable, though. Just wait for him to go "Laaaaaaaw" when he greets him next. ]

[nodo]

[ HE REALLY GONE AND DONE THAT. proud of gojou. ]

Are you telling me you don't think the same?

[ sure there are people here like yuel but even yuel??? ]

[mukagen]

No, you're right, you're right. It's on a spectrum...

[ We can also conclude this thread so naru can rest. ]
