...I don't... want to make anyone feel too badly about it.

[but that frustration is reflected, a little, with some guilt. some regret.]

[situationship]

I can at least say I wouldn't feel too badly about it. I won't tell anyone, either!

[ Genuinely, despite his delivery on this. ]

Last night! Might as well.

[cumulative]

[...if he's genuinely asking, then-- well. after hesitating a moment:]

I still don't want to go.

[he shakes his head, at that.]

I- I voted for Lavi and Suguru and you, because I wanted all of you to be there with me, and then I... wasn't enough after all.

[sometimes instead of voting for yourself you pick the people you trust and want to stay with but you're the one who doesn't make the cut.]

[situationship]

Yeah. Even while knowing people are still out there, doesn't change the nature of death unless all of this is fake or a dream.

[ MATHIS... There's a small sigh at that and he pushes up his sunglasses. ]

You should have definitely voted for yourself, at least.

[cumulative]

...I couldn't have picked just one of you. Or both of you, and left out Lavi, when he... said that he wanted me to be there with him.

[cannot explain the extent to which the specific ic circumstances made this so bad for mathis girl help.]

[situationship]

No, you could just vote for one of us. Suguru wouldn't have been happy, but your vote is yours.

[ He isn't going to be mad about it even though he of course doesn't want to be separated from Suguru.

The last part has him raise his eyebrows? ]

Woah. That's something he said word for word? I can see why Anis would get confused about whatever's happening here if that's true.

[cumulative]

That's why I couldn't have.

[as if he'd put geto through that when it'll already be hard enough...

he blinks, though.]

Y-yes? Well, um, he said 'us', not just him. But then he also said...

[going quiet, so he can think of what the words were.]

'If I die next week, then I'd want you to stay alive to find out who killed me. If I'm the killer, then I'd want you to stay alive long enough to help catch me. But if I'm neither, then I want you to stick around and help me.'

[situationship]

[ Mouths aaaahhhhh and nods. ]

It's too bad the results ended up the way they are, then. At least you can still cheer him on!

[cumulative]

...I will. I know that it's likely going to be... difficult, for all of you, s-so...

I still want to do what I can for him.

[and that has nothing to do with his feelings for him. he'd do the same even if he only ever thought of lavi as a friend.]

[situationship]

[ He laughs a bit! ]

I wonder if the other side has a way to give us signs and stuff... I don't want to think that they sent us those haunted cupcakes or whatever, but something might be a fun morale boost.
