[Matsui is fine, by now he's squashed his violent urges so he's just back to being morose and sad. He's probably vibing in the park even if it's nightfall because a little fresh air and flowers are always nice... When he spots D:]
[He still has quite a bit of layers on as well, so it isn't a big deal. He can dig another weeb robe out of the anime clothing store, or maybe find one in the lolita shop.]
[He shows up to greet the dead in an akatsuki robe]
I am. Just-- ...frustrated. This is the way that the Game is meant to play out, and yet...
[Matsui is morally grey to a greater degree than the other Gou swords but he still has such a strong sense of moral compass, even if it's weird and alien.]
Is this not based on a previous game before? And the intention of games at large is to erase one another, regardless of the cost, isn't it? Where do you think the tampering is happening...?
[Matsui has no idea where to even begin guessing, but his problem lies with the basemost concept of the game itself: a thing that encourages people to kill and lie, to spill blood without penance.]
[Haha… Unfortunately, D had played a very similar game back home, but he understands that Matsui would have more hang-ups about him if he said anything… so he does not.
May Matsui never know the truth of the pet shop.]
Supposedly. I do not know where. Nightingale would not say, and we haven’t found any clues so far. Perhaps it is something only they can fix. Perhaps they don’t intend to fix it so much as watch and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
[THIS IS WHAT THEY GET FOR STANDING ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE PRO VS ANTI HUMAN DIVIIIIDE.]
I heard that the reason we are here is because they intervened and stopped us from proceeding as usual after being erased, because "something worse" could have happened. Do you not believe it to be so?

He lets Buzen go first because of course he does, and then after a while, he goes to look for Matsui himself. Just to check on him.]

--My apologies. I left without returning this.
[D'S ROBE. HE'S STILL WEARING IT.]

That's okay. You can keep it if you're cold.

Are you alright...?

I'm not entirely certain that's true now. [The way the game is meant to be played, he means.] But we'll have to find out why that's the case.

They went through a lot of trouble to pull us away from whatever fate otherwise awaited, just to decide to observe.
[But maybe that's just him being hopeful.]
no subject
We can’t say this isn’t the fate that always awaited us, can we.

no subject
Ah, you mean where we are now. No, that I understand.
no subject
What do you think of what's waiting next, then? Whatever it might be...
no subject
I had hoped I would… just return, to be born again as my father was, as I should be when I take his place in front if my own son. But I’m not sure.
Maybe we will be erased from existence and nothing more.
no subject
This conversation is extra funny now knowing that they weren't dead to begin with. Matsui's so depressed and for what. Literally nothing!! The fool.]
...Maybe so. [...] I had hoped that others may return to where they wished to be. But...
[For him, that's probably the best outcome.]
