[Hiruko may be intense, but he imagines she would leave them be if she sensed them trying to recruit the others. Not that he wants to succeed, but even so. Hiruko is a problem to solve not right this second. He needs to get his timing right with that one.]

I understand. I was simply moved by Takumi and the others helping me... [He stares at the horizon, much preferring that to the image of Gaku next to him. Even if his writhing form is still in the corner of his eyes.

A part of him thinks Gaku's being horribly, despicably selfish. It's so like humans to prioritize themselves over others. And yet he understands not wanting to help humanity, so...]

Is it that you're afraid of fighting? I was scared at first, too, but we're more powerful than we realize.

I mean, I am, yeah. Pretty sure you'd have to be some kind of freak not to be.

[ the like shizuhara or amemiya is unspoken but implied. why are half of their girls terrifying... tsubasa is truly the only dateable one here. ]

But I also just don't want to. Like, why the hell is it my responsibility to save everyone's butts? None of them ever lifted a finger for me.

[Well. Everyone here is a freak, as far as he's concerned, but he follows. There is something thrilling about battle, though. He's kind of been enjoying it.]

Oh... no, I suppose not. Do you need help? I know Takumi and myself would be happy to help, but Takumi is-- [He smiles, as if fondly, and a little teasing,] -- Well, he may have just not noticed. And I'm not always good with social cues, so....

I'm not talking about you guys— though, like, yeah, it wouldn't kill you to sneak me food a little more often.

[ huffs and crosses his arms over his growling stomach... he's dying here ]

I mean all those jerks back in the TRC. Our whole thing's supposed to be protecting them, right? Well, I don't want anything to do with that.

I'll see what I can do. Hiruko's very.... um. Well.

[Oh well. Eito's going to make sure she's not an issue for very much longer. But even so.]

Oh. [That genuinely catches him off guard. It should only figure that not everyone had as positive of an experience as run-of-the-mill Takumi, but he's never really thought about it.] I... can't say they're exactly high on my priority list, either.

Seriously?

[ huh. that catches gaku a little off guard too. eito seems like the kind of person who'd get along with almost anyone... though he guesses maybe if he spent that much time sick in the hospital, he might not have known many people there? ]

You risked your freakin' life trying to go back on your own, didn't you? Like, obviously we all wanna get the heck out of here, but... I kind of figured you had something important there.

[Ah, right. He can't make it too obvious what that was really about...]

I was more worried about just trying to make contact. It's worried me that we haven't really heard anything, and without Sirei... [He looks down, feigning worry.]

Besides, it's... it's still safer there. I didn't think I was cut out for fighting until I tried. [He's getting a little lost in his lies, but even so.] Hiruko doesn't care about why we fight. If you want to fight just to get a better cut of meals, I don't think anyone would really care. We all do what we have to in order to survive, right?
