[ .......... help.... joonghyuk is like wow flat is really a child yet also not. ]

Do you not have something to live for? Is death not something you fear?

[ Like... Family. Friends not made from war. Stuff like that. ]

[escardos]

Death is something that’s always been around me, sir. I wouldn’t say I’m afraid of it…I mean, you kinda have to get used to it when your parents try to kill you a lot but-

[ he says that extremely casually. but he considers the other question with a care that’s almost unlike him. ]

I do have a reason to live, though! I really like living because…it’s fun to live. I like waking up every day and seeing that the world hasn’t been destroyed in my sleep, and then I can go hang out with my classmates and my professor. Every new day is like a gift, you know? You never know what to expect—I love that!

[ Inwardly, he's nodding to himself because this kind of explains how weird this kid is. He doesn't seem put off by that. ]

Then that's enough. If you want to keep waking up and having fun, then try to be careful.

[escardos]

I understand. Don’t get into trouble, right?

[ it’s something he’s heard a thousand times. ]

But I want to find a way to help, too. So that we can find a good solution to everything that’s happening. Is that okay?

[malewife]

[ ??? ]

You don't need my permission to do what you want to do.

[escardos]

Oh, I wasn't really asking for permission to do that. I'm gonna do that one way or another... but I think it would be easier if we worked together.

[ he stretches out a hand ]

You don't seem like someone that does friends, so--allies?

[malewife]

You're going to try to be allies with everyone, aren't you.

[ He doesn't say yes, but he also doesn't say no. No hand shake, but Niah does chuff like it's something. ]

I'll do what I think is best.

[escardos]

With as many people as I can, sir.

[ he'll put his hand back down, though he doesn't look disheartened. ]

If we can unite at least some people on both sides, we may have a chance at finding something closer to a Happy End.

[malewife]

[ don't worry flat it's also culture stuff, too, on top of joonghyuk being himself. ]

... You're not going to tell people your group like it's that easy, are you?

[ ARE YOU SURE. ]

[escardos]

Well, I don't really have anyone else yet...

[ ahaha... ]

But Reze's my friend, I think. Do you think it'd be a good idea to add her in the team...? She might get upset if I don't, now that I think about it.

[malewife]

... I meant more like building trust by unveiling your group to others.

[ But, to be honest, he thinks Flat should stay safe and just try to recruit without asking such things. ]

That's for you to decide.
