Yes, I agree. Do y-you think... we can trust them? That we're doing the right th-thing... She said that Game was the one to decide the fa-fate of the others. What if we really do end up having to ch-choose... between ending all the Games, or saving everyone revived?
It sounded more like some people were upset that she "won" and thus made the current changes to the game accordingly... If she has already left something for us at the river, then I do not think that our choice will have anything to do with her game.

But I will do anything to ensure Buzen leaves this place.
[He truly ain't playing for the betterment of all worlds or the good of mankind, he's just going to do whatever will save Buzen.]
[The last part doesn't surprise him, and it doesn't look like it offends him either. Matsui would.]
I know. [He can't imagine how many people would fight them over something like this. Would it be their whole team? Rang would think this way too, wouldn't he...?] If ever a choice came to be, I... think playing the Games with the correct and original rules [i.e. coming in already dead] is less horrible than the erasure of any revived.
Yes. Nightingale is working on reforming the system, and while it is a terrible system as it stands, it would be just as terrible to strip the revived of their second chance. They have spilled blood and moved through the game just as we have...
[Matsui will truly go down with this ship, mostly for Buzen's sake and for the sake of their world, but also for the sake of everyone who had come before them and made these same difficult decisions. It would be like taking their burdens from them, and Matsui's made it clear what he thinks about that.]
...I hope that things will not come to it. I don't wish to fight allies.
[HELP HE'S JUST A REFRIGERATOR. He will gently run his hands up and down D's arms though, trying to keep him a little warmer that way.
But yeah, D sure does know, doesn't he! Which Matsui is kind of selfishly grateful for, because while he gets what everyone else was trying to do, it is truly difficult attempting to explain to a group of people why their reasoning and logic as to why this technically doesn't count as changing the past doesn't actually mean anything to them.]
...I am trying not to think overly-much of it. We seem to be fine, so far...
[DON'T JUST ACCEPT THIS AND CAST THEM BOTH OUT INTO THE VOID. They walk into the void of this place... together.]
I must have been around him too long. He's rubbing off on me. [This tracks for Buzen, he thinks.] I did find him racing around and around when he had come back from that adventure.
So using his feet is fitting. It doesn't tire you out?
That isn't surprising... [Buzen rubs off on everyone, damn. That also isn't too unusual, the idea of Buzen just running away from his fckin TRAUMA.]>/small>
Why would it tire me out? I'm not the one who is doing the running.

I am sure that he would understand if you kept it until this wore off...

I know... I think it's finally a... ab-bating... Are you alright, too? We have a clue at le-least...

Knowing where to go is a good amount more guidance than what I had expected.

[Leans a little bit into Matsui to keep the shivers at bay even though THIS DOES NOTHING ACTUALLY SINCE MATSUI IS A FRIGID BREAKFAST TOMB.]
Are you and Buzen alright...? I know what it seems we have to do is... difficult for you both.

You do appear to be okay. And... no earthquakes. If you need to not act, don't act.
[This feels like harping, so.]
Let's not worry about it right now.

...Alright. [HE'S RUNNING FROM IT HE'S NOT THINKING ABOUT IT IT'S A FAR-OFF SPECK IN HIS MIND PALACE.]
What shall we talk about instead?
no subject
Literally anything else. Is there somewhere you'd like to go?
no subject
...I will follow you.
no subject
He will take Matsui by the arm, looping theirs together.]
Alright. Let's walk and see where our feet take us.

This is how Buzen deals with his problems.
[But he will delicately loop arms and walk with D into the void.]

Well, you are having to keep up… [Teasing.] I suppose you can watch him race into the distance then come back for you.
no subject
That's usually what I do... [HELP.] ...He will always come back.
