[The swimming boy is bored to tears. They could fill up the sink in McDonald's and get in?]
The pickings are slim for now, yes. Miss Aika said more places would be available in the future.
[T-chan
bites Rin on the arm and it isn't extremely painful, but it's a good solid bite. He doesn't seem irritable or angry?]
--T-chan?! What did I say about that!

[Quickly bending down, he wraps both arms around the totetsu, but doesn't pull him away so as not to hurt Rin more.]
T-chan, let go.
[Sadly, T-chan goes limp and releases Rin's arm, and D scoops him up.]
I'm sorry, are you alright? Don't be angry with him, his affection is tied to his desire to eat. They are one and the same. Really, he likes you if he bites you.
[He tucks T-chan under one arm and holds out his other hand.]
Let me see.

[ Rin is mostly looking at his hand to try and determine whether or not it's bad enough that the chlorine will make it worse.
He smiles a little the way D tucks T-chan under his arm like a briefcase. ]
It's not that bad.
[ It's bleeding. Because I say so. ]
So... My apology really had an impact on him?

[WHY DO ALL OF YALL KEEP USING THIS AS A WAY TO BE HURT???? DON'T GET T-CHAN KILLED!!
He dips his hand under Rin's to hold it in place while he inspects the damage. Frowning.]
Excuse me, don't skirt over the fact your hand is bleeding! We need to wash it and put pressure on it until it stops, and then you need to find someone who will heal you.
[He huffs almost like T-chan is known to do.]
I did say, did I not? Maybe he just thinks you are his surrogate sibling. You both have red hair and sharp teeth.

[ ONLY A LITTLE... LIKE BEING BIT BY A CAT ]
It's not that bad! I've been bit by my family's cat before.
[ He wiggles his fingers. ]
My friend has the healing skill, I'll ask him to fix it later, don't worry. [ D is cute... ] Is it normal for that species to bite it's siblings?

[Rin. Please. It's very different. Honestly, D is a little surprised by Rin's acceptance and resilience for all of this. An alien, not a human...]
T-chan is a totetsu, not a cat.
[Reminder... Also he isn't cute, he's weird.]
He is one of the few left of his kind if not the last. He does not bite siblings, but he also has no siblings to bite.

[THIS IS KILLING ME. Is this what it felt like to RP with Plasma Sasuke???]
I see. Very often, humans become focused on a single goal they wish to achieve and pass by all else. The dedication and strength it takes to reach the goal is commendable; however, it always comes with a cost.

[ shaking that there are only two pcs in here and one of them is d killing rin
Anyway, Rin's palms are cold and clammy as he sets his phone by the door to the Froggystyle base, and his mind is overrun with thoughts moving at a mile a minute, entirely incoherent and all too panicked.
Chest tight, he just stands there for a moment, hands balled at his sides and giving up any dreams he had of looking nonchalant.
Swallowing, ] So? What now?

[Well, Rin had been awake and did not come to him, so he instead went to Rin since there is no reason to drag all of this out.
He really does just knock on their door and stand there. He doesn't try to attack Rin. He isn't a savage?]
I was told it was either me or someone else. So I am here to kill you. Do you know why? That it was you and not anyone else.

[ Rin didn't ask, and he doesn't particularly look moved if D is trying to justify why he's chosen to kill. He's a little too busy being startled at how casually he says it, like the declaration hasn't instantly left Rin's entire body cold, save for warmth is starting to gather behind his eyes.
It takes him a second to find his voice again. ]
Why?
It takes him a second to find his voice again. ]
Why?
Because you are young enough to learn how to change, but you haven't quite yet. Because you would sacrifice those around you for a great personal and selfish desire.
[This is so dramatic for normie swimming, but the principle is the same, and he has dealt with many humans who have very normie desires. Ballet, acting, looking young and beautiful.]
I want your team to work harder to get you back. It's a test for them, too. Will they only worry about winning now that you're gone, or will they try harder to earn your place beside them when it's over and they've won?

[ He just closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. His heart is hammering so fast in his chest that it's difficult to even process what D is saying, stuck in a state of disbelief.
Slowly, he's starting to realize that this isn't some cosmic mistake, and that he's actually going to die tonight. ]
I shouldn't have asked. [ His voice catches a little as he speaks. ] It would've been better without hearing your self-righteous crap.
[ He ducks forward, wiping at his eyes and forcing a deep breath.
Then, a pillow appears above D to bonk him on the head as Rin turns on his heels and books it. ]

I had to make a choice. And I imagine if I allowed myself to be erased, someone else would simply be chosen in my place.
[The great news? The pillow catches him off guard. The least Rin could have done was chosen a brick, honestly. He raises an arm, bewildered, and then startles a bit when Rin just runs.
This is going to be more difficult than it needs to be, he thinks. Why are humans so cowardly? Quickly, he starts after Rin.]
You can only run so far. The outcome will be the same.

I'm making a choice too! To make this as difficult for you as I can.
[ It's mostly out of spite, and not because he thinks that he can actually stop D. He could, maybe, if he turned around and used this power at its most lethal, but the thought of actually killing D is more terrifying than being killed himself.
So instead he runs. The movement gives him some focus, instinct kicking in keep him moving while he head rattles in chaos.
He runs first into the IKEA, which is massive and has plenty of inventory to weaponize. ]
