Mm. Our masked benefactors are the ones who can ward them off...but given that execution last week, there are circumstances where they can be cut off. One perhaps has to understand that if it is an ability that was given to them, whether we can make use of it when and wherever we can.
[ He runs his hand through his hair, a little frustrated. ]
And I'm sure if we even asked them about some of this, they'd just tell us their hands are tied. Or, worse, they'll turn to dust if they try to help. It makes you wonder what the person at the top even has in mind turning this all into some kind of competition.
From what I have discussed with them...perhaps there's more at stake than we realize. [...] One of them seemed to suggest they took this whole role up to protect their world from being destroyed, which may indicate that our worlds may be in jeopardy, as well.
Yeah, I think they all have something or someone they want to protect or save. And I can't fault them for it. I heard that a lot of people will be hurt if one side wins.
[ He reaches out and grabs him by the cuff of the sleeve, looking up at him from his seated position on the bed. ]
Let me help you. Even as a sounding board. I want to figure this out as much as you do and the more we can share, the more we can piece this puzzle together.

[He'll finish it.]
Could happen again, yes.

How are we even supposed to fight against something like that?

I promise Shamsiel that I would do my utter best in trying to figure out a peaceful solution to this "conflict". I do hope that...will be possible.
no subject
I hope the same. I told them I'd be working my hardest to help keep everyone safe.
[ Not just the people here in the immediate, he means. ]
no subject
[But...it doesn't mean he will stop trying, though.]

[ It's great running through it alone and trying to save the day, but... ]

[And then smiles, lightly.]
Yes, indeed.

[He looks down at the grip to his sleeve, mouth twisting in a thoughtful expression.]
...Alright. I have already enlisted the help of others, so...the more the merrier. [A pause.] I will never say no to your assistance, Mr. Kotetsu.
no subject
Good.
[ Enjoy that biting him in the ass with the food thing later. Still counts as assistance. ]
I might not be able to figure things out like you, but I'll keep at a problem until it's fixed.
