It's not going to be good, whatever it ends up being. Be careful out there--and watch out for Akira too. I made him promise me not to sacrifice himself for me before, but...
Akira's lost everything here. Nakajima-san, Shirou-san, Ichigo-san. Iwai-san. He's had a bomb shoved into his chest, and then had to shove a bomb into mine to try to save me.
He's seen you possessed by a monster, and almost had to kill you.
How much more do you think he can take? Akira is strong. He's so, so strong.
But he can't lose you. He can't lose his family. If only for his sake... please think of his sake.
[that is. a really effective argument, but she's just trying so hard to be strong, but she's not. she's just fundamentally broken inside.]
I won't be rash or reckless.
If we can figure out an idea tomorrow, then that's what I'll aim for. But I also can't vote for anyone else. I can't vote for Cinque, I can't even vote for Kohaku, even though I can't stand him.
I understand. If you have to vote for yourself, I get it.
But please don't volunteer yourself.
You have to live--because Akira needs you more than he needs anything right now. You're his second-in-command. That means that sometimes, you have to be his strength for him, right?

I'm-- I don't know.
I'm angry that we broke this place, that we're still playing this stupid game. There wasn't a reason you had to die.
no subject
It's the Lady and this place doing it.

There's still going to be a trial tomorrow. For your killer.

[He's going to be a mess now.]
no subject
I know it won't be. I don't know what we're going to do. We can't ask anyone to volunteer for this.
no subject
If you volunteer tomorrow, I won't sing any more karaoke with you. I'm serious.
no subject
I'm literally the only killer still alive. I won't do anything rash but I won't vote for anyone else.
[she's lying. she is 100% the most rash member of the PTs. but you know. it's fine.]
But I'm going to have to stop Akira from volunteering, most likely.
no subject
And it's not about that anyway anymore. It's just like everyone said. The game was just a distraction all along.
no subject
But if we have to keep playing it, then I'm going to play my way.
no subject
You're the strategist for the Phantom Thieves, right? Akira's second in command?
no subject
We'll see what tomorrow brings. I said I wouldn't be rash.

I... I'll be counting on you to be that.
no subject
Okay. We'll look for every other available option.
no subject
Thank you so much, Makoto. I wish I could be there to support you two too.
But... for now, I'll be counting on you. But it's okay. I know you're reliable.
no subject
I'll do my best. Whatever happens, I'm sure that your role isn't done yet either, Minato. Even if you aren't here with us.
