Like we'd know? [Just...gently calling all of them out for sucking at even remotely expressing anything.] All a part of the whole "trust" thing we're supposed to do, I guess. Trust each other to talk about stuff like that.
Probably why they anticipated us failing. [A shrug.] Why else would you bring this specific group of people here? We still have never really found out why us.
Not sure if we'll ever manage to figure that one out, honestly... Unless we stumble into a treasure trove of missed information in the next few days, haha.
I wouldn't exactly count that out yet. We didn't learn most of the information we really needed to understand why we were playing the Nonary Game or the Decision Game until it was nearly over.
[He makes a little bit of a face at that, even if he also doesn't seem surprised.]
Haha, well... I suppose we'll have to wait and see, in that case. Unless you feel like testing that theory of yours and telling me how you feel! I'm all ears.
[But he says this with a punkass grin because haha, Junpei and opening up.]
Stressed out. [He'll just flat out say it, but there's a half-smile so who knows if he means it.] But yeah, who knows if that theory's even worth testing.
[A Shrug! Hate that they both agree to this but haha that's not until later so he can still backflip away.]
...you've never really struck me as a person that says what they're really feeling if you want my honest opinion. [If only because he's bad at it, too.]
[He lifts both hands in a shrug this time.] And I don't? [He's not making this easy for anybody it's fine.] I can still point out that you're just as cagey as the rest of us.
At least we all have good company here, if that's the case!
[All of them just being cagey little shits together, what a great ship full of people... He does sound fond when he says it, though. Horrible gremlin.]
Is that what we're calling it? [He can't help but grin just a little because...yeah. He agrees. They all suck at this but he's come to care about a lot of people on this dumb ship anyway.]
[Sometimes your gremlin heart makes friends without you having any say in it. Life is hard!]
It is now! [But he's grinning, too... IN ANY CASE:] I should probably actually go sit down for a little bit or Dick might come after me. I did promise him six hours of being on my best behavior.
[Who authorized this friendship thing? God. But...he laughs anyway at that because that sure does sound like Dick.]
Six is actually pretty impressive for you. [A joke.] But not a bad idea. He gets really annoying when he's busy being a mother hen. [And so he waves it off.] I have some people to check on anyway. We'll catch up later.
It is! [NOT A JOKE.] But haha, I'd imagine. He's already bad enough when he's just fretting like normal... Take care, though! Don't go running around too much, yourself - we should all be getting a little rest.
[They were IN THE MORGUE OVERNIGHT it's fine, they're all fine. He'll raise his hand a little in any case, and then he's off to go continue being a gremlin elsewhere.]

Mm, well. That's certainly a possibility - though I hope no one's had to deal with anything like it.
[Knowing this group of repressed morons, they probably just dealt with it In Stoic Silence if they did.]

--Well! Surely everyone has at least one person here that could fall under that category for them by now.
[He says this
but being one of the people who absolutely does not talk to anyone about shit, he knows his words are optimistic at Best.]

Mm, you might be right about that. Can't hurt to talk a little more either way! But it's not like I don't understand, you know?
[Except then they apparently both get dragged into Doxx Yourself To Save Higekiri 2k19.]

Also pot kettle in this conversation, god. He grins, just as much of a punk as ever in spite of their recent harrowing night of morgue terror.]
First Higekiri, now you! I'll start to believe you really think that at this rate.

I talk so much in a single day, you know! I can't keep track of what I do or don't say.
