I don't think you'd be able to tell me even if you did. We know how the angel's coercion works now. It's not like saying no is ever actually an option.
[ that's how it works. ]
But I also think you fully suspected someone was going to come after you on Friday, and I'm more curious about why you thought that.
Yeah. I'm surprised we're all still here. Out of all the choices, and all the options, somehow none of us have been targeted. [ ... ] It feels almost impossible.
Yeah. I'm not ignoring how lucky we are. I'm not sure I could've found whoever the new role was in time, honestly.
[ ... ]
I'm glad though. That you didn't have to use that letter. It goes without saying, but no. I've not and won't mention it to anyone. [ shit's personal, yo. ]
I would be worried if someone had to pick up the role I was given and try to scramble. I believe in the people left here, but... It was a lot to take in, honestly.
[ but he nods slowly ]
Same. I know it upset him to even read it without it being the case, but... Thanks. For keeping that close. It's not that I didn't trust Kaeya. I also don't want anyone knowing anything that could indicate I've got reason to worry. You know. Like a role.
... It'd be kinda cruel, wouldn't it. It took at least a week to figure out mine, and wasn't as complicated. They might not have the wider knowledge we do.
[ ... ] Unless in this hypothetical scenario, it went to someone who knew a role in the first place.
Nah, I get it. Kaeya didn't press me about it either, so I don't think there's anything to worry about there.

You look a little less pulled in seven directions at once.

I feel like that. [ he's a moment's pause, but he has to ask before anything else. ] Do you really think I have anything to do with A-Qing's death?

I didn't think anyone specifically would. We're low on numbers. People have to pick who they think is the best target.
We almost went after someone to even the numbers. So I'm just as likely of a target as any. Our talk with the roles made me realize that.

I respected his wish about privacy before, he's just repaying the favor.

[ mm. ]
Good. At least no one started pressing.

[ he nods a bit. ]
I doubt anyone would.
