Of course it's selfish. [ bluntly, but not unkindly. ] We're all getting close and starting to trust each other and make friends knowing that every Thursday now there's a risk one of those people will be taken away by another person we care about. The whole thing's pretty unfair, but...maybe being selfish is better than not caring at all. People are going to be more determined to find a solution if this keeps happening, as much as I don't want it to.
[ he hears it, but he cannot say shit about playing favorites, considering. ]
I'm going to worry anyway, I think. At least until all of this is over or we find a way to help people in any special position they might find themselves in. [ ...he thinks about the random note found in the bento, the theory he and tama had that it was probably an outside party, but he doesn't bring it up. instead, he's watching rabbit's hand as they hold up a clip and he frowns softly. ]
[ There is a touch of fondness there for a moment before it's gone. ]
That I do agree with. It will encourage people to try to find a way out, but the opposite may also be true. It may encourage more deaths if someone loses the person they are closest with.
[ Nico is such a good child! They put the clip down and look for another one. Maybe black and red? ]
If there are those with a special role to play beyond what we see, then I would recommend that you don't seek them out. I know you may want to help them, but we have learned the hard way that there may be a very good reason things are kept secret. [ A pause ] This isn't confirmation that such things exist, dear.
[ A smile before they find a skull one. ] I do have the funds. I might as well treat my dear friend's team member.
[ he thinks perhaps the most polite thing to do in this instance is nod because he damn well knows that if someone went after will there's a high chance he might go completely insane. he doesn't need to worry rabbit with that. ]
Then we prepare for either scenario. [ he ends up handing over a black and gold pin instead. ] I'm not seeking anyone out that might be at risk if they're found, but what if I find something on accident? Is it better to pretend I didn't see it? Hypothetically speaking. I know it isn't confirmation that such things exist, but...there're always people playing multiple sides.
[ but he blinks at the skull pin. he. kind of likes it, actually. hm. ]
...normally I would say that you don't have to, but I have a feeling it makes you happier when people accept gifts. [ he has decided rabbit's love language for people apparently is gift-giving. ]
Understood. [ this wouldn't be the first time he hasn't been allowed to meddle. this also hasn't been the first time he's had to specifically avoid drawing attention to certain things in order to smooth out two sides, so...he can do that.
and he watches the clip get attached probably to his lapel. a lopsided smile follows. ]
Hard to imagine you of all people being shy, but don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.

If you stumbled on such a thing, then I would suggest ignoring it. You may observe, but don't call attention to it or let them know.
[ They will attach it to what he's wearing instead of his hair. ]
You'll make a rabbit quite shy if you say it out loud. [ Don't say it out loud. ]
