[ wow, d does not let it go and he'll notice that anger is starting to rise up in rin. anger alongside indignation because what does d care anyway? he's the one that killed him?
but he bites his tongue, afraid of what else d will have to say.
[The irritation dies away into something more somber. He frowns slightly, keeping his face ahead.]
No. They weren’t sure. I thought it would be easy for them, but they had a hard time.
Buzen and Matsui tried to convince them in their own way. I think a lot of them believed it was Rang. He bore the brunt of a lot of ire that should have went to me.
[Poor Rang... who went around saying it was him, too, except for a couple of people.]
I think... he was used to people thinking such awful things of him. It was better than people liking him. And perhaps a small part of him did it for me.
He is an animal is why. He doesn't follow the same rules you all do.
[STOP!!!!]
He asked me if he could do it. He was the only one I would have allowed to do it. No one else, no human, no weapon made by humankind has earned the right to take my life from me after what was done to my people.
No, not really. I would just prefer it not have been a human, or one of the swords. Though I suppose we may have been close in order for me to know they weren't one.
[ Deciding to make this the moment Rin comes to the conclusion that D and Rang are in a relationship. ]
... Yeah. I'm not sure I get it, but if that's what you wanted, then I'm glad you got it at least. [ Rubs his face. ] I feel kind of bad for him. Your team could probably use a break.

You can say that. You actually did something for your team.
no subject
I don’t think that’s the accomplishment you are making it out to be. I only acted because I was forced. Otherwise… I would have done nothing as well.
[Gentle annoyance.]
Besides, you did plenty, of they all wouldn’t have been as angry as they were when you were gone.
no subject
They were angry because you targeted someone helpless in their eyes. [ anyway, not wanting to talk about this anymore: ] It doesn't matter.
... I wonder if we'll be able to see anything. After everyone falls asleep.
no subject
No, they were angry because they cared for you. I know as much because of how they spoke to me after the trial about it, about you.
[So shut the fuck up, you raspberry looking pool float.]
...I don't know.
no subject
but he bites his tongue, afraid of what else d will have to say.
instead, he just stares at the street. ]
... Did they catch you easily?
no subject
No. They weren’t sure. I thought it would be easy for them, but they had a hard time.
Buzen and Matsui tried to convince them in their own way. I think a lot of them believed it was Rang. He bore the brunt of a lot of ire that should have went to me.
[There is… guilt, and some sorrow.]
I did him an injustice as I had done you.
no subject
That's what Hikari said too, that people suspected Rang. [ His eyebrows twitch. ] I guess no one would believe him if he just said it wasn't him.
no subject
[Poor Rang... who went around saying it was him, too, except for a couple of people.]

[ Glad that Rin can freely think that Rang and D are an item now. ]
What about your, uh, execution...?
no subject
[STOP!!!!]
He asked me if he could do it. He was the only one I would have allowed to do it. No one else, no human, no weapon made by humankind has earned the right to take my life from me after what was done to my people.
no subject
You wanted someone close to you to do it?
no subject
No, not really. I would just prefer it not have been a human, or one of the swords. Though I suppose we may have been close in order for me to know they weren't one.
no subject
I don't get why he even offered. If it were Haru... I couldn't do that to a teammate.
no subject
For Rang, doing it was his way of showing respect. His way of showing he cared.
no subject
... Yeah. I'm not sure I get it, but if that's what you wanted, then I'm glad you got it at least. [ Rubs his face. ] I feel kind of bad for him. Your team could probably use a break.
no subject
It kept others from having to do it.
[The smallest reason, but still one nevertheless.]
Yes, we have had quite a time… but that is how it goes.
