[THAT SUCKED... HE HATES THIS PLACE SO MUCH.
Amelia can catch him outside, though; he's just taking a walk by the canals, looking very sad, but he'll nod when he sees her.]

[What a mood. He'll at least try to return her smile, even if it's very faint.]
It was. [...] Thank you, for working so hard.

[God, did it ever.]
Last time, I think it was mostly our organization. [They could've checked pockets sooner. Pixis could have noticed that certain mod characters had two items more quickly.] But this time, it felt like we found the right team on accident.

It feels like an accident... but maybe it's just that all of our efforts were pointing us in the right direction. Even if we couldn't make that last connection that would make everything tie together neatly... we were moving closer and closer to the Truth all along!
[Hah. If only. Sometimes life would be easier if he were a true optimist, he thinks.]
...Isn't it hard? [Normally, he wouldn't ask that, but. It's been a long day.] Not getting discouraged.

[She really is so positive. He can't remember the last time he felt that way.]
Is that what's driving you forward, then?

[Hmm. He's quiet for a moment, contemplating.]
You're teammates with Livio and Simon, aren't you?

I was just thinking that it's good they have you to keep them going. They seem like they could use it. [Simon seems like he's going to fall apart under a strong breeze and Livio tries So Hard]
Right... they've both been having a pretty hard time, with everything...
[with Livio's No Good, Very Bad Weekend, and Simon's... (gestures at the whole simon).]
Don't worry. They're both very precious friends of mine, so I'll do everything I can to keep their spirits up!

[Unfortunately Kaveh would fight anyone for them, which is not conducive to a competition.]

[Well!
It's a little while after execution and Amelia's stopped by the canals, maybe waiting for a gondola to get her the heck away from here. Maybe Kaveh had the same idea, who knows.
There's an active effort to keep her emotions calm, and it's not an entirely successful one right now. They feel almost like a group of tangled knots of sadness and shock and anger. She doesn't have to look up to realize that Kaveh's near, and after a moment, she manages to say something.]
It's just horrible...

[Aki/Eli/Yaywon upset Amelia... the worst crime of all...
But yeah, he's at the canals. Just looking out over the water, mostly, all of his anguish burned down into a hollow kind of mourning. It takes him a while to say anything, even after she speaks.]
I knew he didn't want to live without Buzen. [Softly.] But I thought we'd get to say goodbye.

I'd like to think he would've chosen differently. But I don't expect he was going to.
[He hadn't sensed any true will to go on, yesterday. And Kaveh couldn't bring himself to beg him to try, not when Matsui's reason to fight was gone.]
But it shouldn't have been like this.

[Imagine if the killed wake up on Fridays and Buzen had to see this nonsense. Incredible.]
Me too. [...] Alex said one of the reapers told her they're still around, in a way. Just on a different "frequency."
[It's a hollow comfort, after all of that. But it's something, to think that they might be together.]

From what I understand, that's at the end. After everything's over.
[Once they know who wins, he means.]

Maybe.
[It's a kind of selfish comfort, he thinks--the idea of them having to watch helplessly.]
Matsui will be okay if they're together, though.
