You don't have to thank me for that, man. I didn't actually help that much, anyway.

[ he knows he caused problems with the instrument stuff and he feels bad about it... gomen. ]

I'm sorry about Ku-san... but at least we found the right person.

[Kaveh doesn't hold it against him, tbh. He didn't think there was much to go off of in that direction either.]

Yeah. [He doesn't sound happy about it, but. It's not like he's against criminals getting caught and punished.] ...The Rulebook said she'll be erased tomorrow.

An eye for an eye. It's nothing unusual.

...I wonder what it'll mean for her team, though. You're both going to be down a member, after this.

[Mm. Yeah. It would be his inclination to say it puts them both at a disadvantage, but then something else occurs to him.]

...They'll have gotten points for this, so I imagine they'll be ahead.

Probably. But it's just started. We can still catch up.

[That's true. There's no need to despair so quickly--not over that, at least. It's the Championship all over again.]

You're right. I'm not sure what getting caught will mean for them anyway.

Besides losing a member... maybe they'll lose some of the points erasure got them in the first place?

[ shrugs. ]

It's hard to gauge that when we don't even know the scoring to begin with. That team seems pretty capable, though? Just like you guys. So I wouldn't worry about them too much.

Do you think those three would give us more information, if we asked? They were fairly vague about it when they first introduced themselves to us.

[They just said that murder is worth more points than anything else...]

It's worth trying, isn't it? For all we know, they just want to make us work for anything they didn't say before. Something about "doing more than the minimum."

Yes, you're right. [He chews on his lip for a moment.] Alright. I'll see what I can find out, then.

The worst they can do is say no. I've got some other questions for them, and I'm honestly expecting nothing, but if we don't ask, we won't know either way.

Are you gonna be okay? Today was hard on everyone, but...

[ kaveh seemed pretty out of it? ]

Mm, that's true. We have to try.

[He'll keep trying until he can't anymore. If nothing else, he has the determination for that.

He gives Kazuki a small smile, reaching out to pat his arm reassuringly.]

I'll be alright. You don't have to worry.

[It's been a lot. Tomorrow will be a lot, too. But Kaveh has picked himself up again and again; he'll do it here, too. It's the only thing he can do.]

Just... don't push yourself too hard. You've got a good team. They can help.

[ he feels a little awkward now but he still adds, ] We will, too.
