As much as I didn't put up of a fight during trial, you can expect something out of me tomorrow. There were two people who could have caught and I wasn't going to waste time on dodging.
[ He really does respect you, Law, and he doesn’t respect a lot of people. ]
Makes sense. Honestly, if it weren’t for this weird execution thing, I’d be upfront about killing. I just don’t see much reason to hide it when it’s justified.
[ Not that he killed. Meaningless deaths are not his thing. ]
Anything on your mind? Even if you might scrape by tomorrow, there’s a chance you won’t. So this is like your second to last chance to chat.
[ weh. that's touching and give law moment to mull over what he could say. a fair amount of people have visited him and talked about some things. but out of all of thing that they could talk about... well, one thing is very unlikely but also a change of pace from all of the previous conversations that he has. maybe it might be good for gojou, too? dunno.
they've both lost their romances. er, well, law's """romance""". ]
I wouldn't have pegged Omi being the person you would have gone for here. Sorry you couldn't have enjoyed it longer.
[ But he doesn’t mind it... Now that Omi’s gone, talking about him is one of the ways he can remember him. ]
I wasn’t expecting to really go for anyone here—romance isn’t my thing. Things kind of happen, don’t they. [ ... ] I did enjoy what little time we had together. It was nice and all I could ask for considering our circumstances.
For you, was it Steven?
[ He did see what everyone guessed there. He never pried before, but they’re on this topic now. ]
[ law will even do the little "jazz hands" for gojou, all remaining to have a certain level of deadpan. look, he's about to die so there's only so much "cool guy" air he should have. besides, this is a less-than-normal conversation between him and gojou. ]
Everyone's made the guess and decided on their own, haven't they? [ he didn't even say much!!!! or was that the reason? ] It was, but I doubt it was the same kind of thing you had with Omi.
[ ... ]
We only had a day to fumble around with the feeling, and I'd be hesitant to put a label on it.
[ The jazz hands make Gojou snicker, but not laugh. It doesn’t feel like a good time to laugh, anyway. ]
I thought you guys were just good friends, personally. [ For Law, he didn’t try to think much of it compared to everyone else he has theories for. ] ... It sounds like you guys needed more time.
[ Maybe they all need more time. ]
In the end, labels are just labels. What you guys had is something only your two would understand.
[ ... ]
Sucks that it was just thrown out there in the open like that.
We weren't friends according to him. [ and there's not a trace of malice or contempt in law's voice as he admits to this. if anything he's amused. ] He did ask if I'd consider him as a friend and I said I'd give it a chance, but it looks like I gave something bigger a chance instead.
[ skipping friendship and diving right into the meatier things.... sometimes things happen so much??? ]
I think we both could have had done with more time. [ he'll give a bit of a shrug. At least no one decided they needed to grill me about the finer details right then and there.
[ wow naru meatier things the real adult relationship ]
Time really is the enemy and the hero, isn't it. [ He laughs a bit. ] You know, I want to call you an idiot since you must have had other ways to throw us off.
[ Then he offers Law a hand to take through the bars... Gojou repeats something they've talked about before. ]
I can't stop you for calling me one if you want. You wouldn't be the first one. I know I could have, but then there might be an innocent person sitting here instead of me.
[ law will look at gojou's hand for a moment before allowing himself to take it. fine. it could be a last comfort for him and even though he's perfectly aware of the hypocrisy of what he has just said and what he is about to say, he does so regardless. ]
I'm not a good person, Gojou. I don't intend to be one.
... Do you hear yourself, Law? [ DO YOU FUCKING HEAR YOURSELF. Gojou gives Law's hand a firm grasp, not desperate or anything. It's merely strong... Maybe gratitude is what it is. ] Also, you can just call me Satoru.
[ In case Law dies, Gojou at least wants them to be on the same page with names, here. ]
[ hei did you tag me with this lore because gojou is dying???
but anyway, he clearly did not hear himself, thanks?? what was it that he say?? though he's going to look down between the grip and gojou for a moment before responding. ]
[ naru........... i am writing to you from the future and no gojou hasn't died yet. Let him lower his voice and try to mimic the same exact tone as Law: ]
I know I could have, but then there might be an innocent person sitting here instead of me.

[ Gojou isn't really big on revenge, but he sees the appeal a lot. Very much. ]
Are you going to fight tomorrow? Or are you going to do whatever Fukuda and Omi did last week.
[ damn both of them dead ]

Just because I don't want an innocent person not to be sitting where I am, doesn't make me suddenly a better person.
