...Yeah. That's what I figured. But I already told him I'm looking out for him, so you don't have to worry.

[Kind of curious though -- ]

How long have you known?

[bladeisme]

...Since the week where no one had to die.

[REMEMBER HOW HARD HE WAS HITTING THE SAUCE THAT WEEK?

YEAH]

....Thank you. I - I'm pretty sure I'm going to die thursday night, because...

[He's quiet for a moment, and then -]

Assassin never forgave Akira for Eleanor. And I told him to come after me if he wants to get his revenge.

[ruffboi]

...Oh.

[Well, now it's getting serious up in here.]

When'd you tell him that? 'cause he said he wasn't going to murder anyone this week.

[bladeisme]

Sunday, after the execution.

[He shakes his head.]

I offered to fight him, but he turned me down. But...I'm sure that he's not going to just let Akira get away with anything. And if he knows that people are rallying around him...

[He's silent for a moment, his eyes looking far away before snapping back to the present.]

...Then he'll go after people he feels are close to Akira. And I'm his partner.

[ruffboi]

Maybe. I want to have some faith in him. I don't think he's as bad as he seems. Uh. But if you do turn up dead, I'll have a suspect in mind?

[Hitting him in a friendly way on the arm.]

Just try and fight back, how about that?

[bladeisme]

[Want to have some faith in him.

He hopes, despite his experience, that Magnus is right.]

...I'll see what I can do.

Thanks, Magnus.
