[ funnily, he would have been that selfish of an asshole if i took him from a different canonpoint. as it stands, his emotions are... a little complicated, but he feels to be at least a little less mad now. ]
Hm... maybe I should be less nice then, so people don't start expecting anything.
Mineo and I are partners. I don't mean in the romantic sense, it's just... when we came to the decision, we just agreed to actually rely on each other here and do what we can.
When he told me about his plans, I had a few requests as his partner. And he ended up going against all of them. It's not really something I can forgive.
[ pictured: francy dunking takeru/mineo into the ground
She thinks about how angry he was when he came back from the beach, thinks back to how jittery he was during the meeting, thinks back to other times he showed more open emotions in public.
She thinks she has an idea of one of the requests, but... ]
Yeah, that's not really acting like a partner, is it? I'm not a forgiving person myself, but are you two going to be okay?
I don't know, but I try not to regret what I do, to make choices I won't regret.
[ It's why when she wants something, she just chases after it. You miss all shots you don't take. ]
So I think it'd be worse to have gone through all this and have nothing for it. If we're already here, we might as well get something from it. Otherwise, what was all of this for?
[ So whether it's worth it is questionable, but now that they've been put through all this, they should get a wish. ]
What does it matter if people have larger or more thrilling wishes? As long as it's important to you, isn't that what matters most?
[ What you want is what you want, and Medb's never let judgment of her desires slow her down, so it's not like she cares to judge his wish on a scale of grandness. ]

She notes that anger fading with another smile. She laughs softly. ]
I already told you, I didn't mind if you were, didn't I?
[ Be as much of an asshole as you like, Takeru. She'll still like you, unfortunately.
She tugs on his hand. She wants to find somewhere to sit. ]
But tell me a little about what's making you angry? I want to know.
no subject
but he's quiet, contemplating the question. ]
There are a couple of things. It's a complicated matter, but it mostly boils down to him being an idiot.
no subject
She nods. ]
Yeah? In what way?
[ It's not news that Takeru thinks Mineo is an idiot, but her prompting is neutral. Well, neutral enough. ]
no subject

Are you going to be okay?
[ Because it's kind of a breach of trust. ]
no subject
I'll be okay. I'm rather spiteful, and I hold grudges, but I know how to live with it.
[ he'll admit that easily about himself, since it's just a fact. ]
He accepted that I won't forgive him. So, it's just moving forward from it. There's still a lot we need to do here.
no subject
She squeezes his hand gently. ]
Mm. I know you'll do what needs to be done. I've never doubted that about you.
no subject
someone being encouraging isn't a bad thing. ]
... it'll probably be done soon, anyway.
no subject
[ It's a little complicated how she feels, hearing that from him. Her hold on his hand tightens almost reflexively. ]
We have to focus on getting out of here.
no subject
he looks at her. ]
Do you think getting a wish from a place like this is worth it?

I know people have complicated feelings over it. [ ... ] But I really need to make sure we get them.
no subject
[ They've gone through seven weeks of murder. They have to get something out of it. ]
What's your wish, Takeru?
no subject
and then shrugs. ]
I just want to kill someone. That's all.
no subject
It must have been someone who's done something unforgivable to you.
no subject
[ he gestures around the room. ]
So. Here I am. I know others have more thrilling or larger wishes, but it's important to me.
no subject
[ What you want is what you want, and Medb's never let judgment of her desires slow her down, so it's not like she cares to judge his wish on a scale of grandness. ]
As long as you know you won't regret it.
no subject
[ there's a rather firm determination, and it's the most sure he's felt during emotionshare week. like there's no other answer. ]
I'd never regret it.
no subject
[ She likes a firm resolve, but for as mean-spirited and spiteful as Takeru is, she does think he's ultimately good at the core.
She reaches up to touch his face. ]
So let's both leave here with little to no regrets, hm?
no subject
Yeah. Let's.
[ whatever that means. ]
