[LMFKSDJHGK it's fine. Pats his head.]

Technically, yes, for those rounds.[He supposes you could look at it that way.] We didn't work together on the final round, which turned out to be a good thing.

[ he looks like he's thinking through the moral of the story here. hmmmmm. ]

How did that turn out?

[ohthehumanities]

Pretty terrible, honestly. It turned out that the person who provided the Diadem left a piece of his consciousness inside of it, and he wanted to find someone to impart the results of his research to. Only, the results of his research were that humanity is hopelessly doomed to inevitable conflict, torment, and despair. I didn't even put the thing on, and I still felt like my head was about to explode.

It worked out in the end, though. I was able to destroy it and donate his money.

[ okay. that all sounds like something out of a movie. but okay. at this point who is he not to simply accept these things. ]

Sounds like he was... dramatic. [ his tone is level, but somehow still deeply derogatory. even from a sports protag perspective, thinking all of humanity is in a Perpetual Doom Cycle of Tears is a lot. ] Glad you didn't agree with him.

...Mm. [...] Sumeru is built on knowledge and wisdom. As a scholar, I have to acknowledge that it was arrogant to reject his findings. In the most technical sense, he pursued a theory, and found evidence to support it. But he didn't take what he learned and try to do good. Instead, he decided to experiment--to see what other people would do with his knowledge. All the pain and harm he caused over the years... [Something seems to pass across his expression, then--a deep, old sadness, one that he pushes away after a moment. He shakes his head.] Sealing his research was the right thing to do.
