[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.

[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.
no subject
...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.

He will take Matsui by the arm, looping theirs together.]
Alright. Let's walk and see where our feet take us.
no subject
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.
