Yes, yes. [ he waves a hand dismissively. ] Self-preservation by trying to solve all this so we can leave all the sooner, rather than later. It's selfish, we've covered this.
[ even if she deserved more than a few 'hm's during the part of trial where minato was a suspect. ]
How do you manage it all, though. [ how does everyone just end up entrusting her with all these things. ]
But then again, you've been making no secret of it in the first place, I suppose.
[ part of him wonders that if, there was a way to get back that didn't involve fixing the core, she'd take it. even if the core's issues will supposedly affect all worlds... ]
[ Absolutely she would, because she's not entirely convinced the corruption could touch the world. Not the one she lives in, anyway. Not the one she escaped to... Who cares about the real world? ]
[ crocodile tears and their related ploys should count as lies. ]
I don't mean this as a call-out, you know. I am thankful you've told me as much as you have, in the past. Even when there was no good reason to in the first place, considering it's not like any of us has reason to trust each other.
But then again, considering how open you've been with certain things so far, maybe you do trust us all more than you claim to?
[ or, more likely, she sits on an even bigger throne of secrets! hm! ]
Spokesperson... I don't want to be anything like that. And I'm sure anyone would do the right thing, I just don't know that they'll tell people about it and that could make it hard for everyone else, and...
[ Ugh. She just sighs. ]
Anyway, it's not like I could pull off well-loved, so.
... I mean, I didn't hear anything about a syringe last week.
[ pretty sure all the partnerless last week went into and through the trial convinced that they would die? so if transparency is the excuse she's using, ]
But you seem pretty convinced you weren't going to pull off well-loved, huh.
Mm... I thought that one would work out on its own. And I wasn't as confident in how it would get used, so I didn't want to make any promises.
[ Whereas confirming they got the corrupted seemed like a bigger priority to make sure they could 'cure' the right person. As for the well loved thing, she just. Sighs. ]
I mean, everyone's always scolding me and getting mad when I try to be helpful. They're always, like, ready to be angry. That's gotta mean they don't like me.
... I'm not sure if that's specifically just you, or if that's just everyone being tired and frustrated in general about not knowing anything during a trial, then taking said frustrations out on the people who do know more than them and hadn't mentioned it beforehand. Which, fair or not, has so far mostly happened to be you.
