The suspects are you and the other guy. Convince me it's not you.

[finalgambit]

…No.

[abovefate]

You're not making things easier for yourself. You know that, right?

If you ensure me you will not vote for Wanderer if the hints ever point toward him, then I will crusade against that guy for you. Since you're obviously so helpless.

[finalgambit]

If you vote against him, then somebody else is going to die, and there’s a greater chance of it being somebody nobody is interested in seeing explode. It’s better that your vote is for me.

[ he offers him a coin. ] I don’t mind, but if you want to leave it to chance…

[abovefate]

I don't care for who else explodes so long as it's not Wanderer and Dan Feng. Regardless of their role.

[finalgambit]

…so long as it’s not Wanderer or Dan Feng. I noticed my name wasn’t included in that little stipulation, so I’ll take my vote thank you very much.

[abovefate]

I didn't add you because I'm talking to you right now, asshole.

[finalgambit]

And I’m telling you something without telling you… [ he’s trying to play the game and play the game. ] If these people have even half a brain, and he’s killed this round, then I’m doomed in the third round anyway.

[abovefate]

[ Aventurine is right. He knows it but he still would prefer strangers to explode ]

Only if they focus on past clues, no?

[finalgambit]

Just promise to pick me up from the graveyard... [ he brings the coin he tried offering to yuuri to his lips. ] I'll come back. I will. I'm not like everybody else. I'm worse.

[abovefate]

I want to punch your smug face so bad right now.

[finalgambit]

How about a kiss on the cheek for good luck… besides~ you’ll have an opportunity to hit me soon enough. I’m going to cause another scene, but I’m afraid I want to put you at the center of it, because your little twin is so easily riled up. If I can stir the emotional pot enough, then I’m certain he’ll rally everybody to vote for me.

[abovefate]

You want to upset Kazuki? If you can protect him then fine. Just as long as you don't expect me to deceive him.

[finalgambit]

I just want to be upfront about what I’m going to do. No hard feelings. You know I like you, and he’s not so bad. I enjoy messing around with him.

Do whatever you like.

[abovefate]

You really are impossible.

[finalgambit]

And that’s part of the reason you like me so much.

[abovefate]

And you take advantage of it. I really should punch you.

[finalgambit]

I’m going to give you plenty of reasons of opportunities soon enough, so you may as well take advantage and make it count.

Give them a good show.

[abovefate]

I'll try not to ruin your show.

... but you better let people take care of you after this.

[finalgambit]

Hopefully people will still want to talk to me after this.

[abovefate]

You're not that good of an actor.

[finalgambit]

I’m pretty good…

[abovefate]

We'll see about that, won't we?

[finalgambit]

...mm, I guess so.

Will you do one last favor for me? A dead man's last wish?

[abovefate]

I should say no just because you're putting me in this position.

But yes, I will.

[finalgambit]

I mean, h- hah, ...you can say no. This is just an ask. That's all.

If you can, look after Ratio for me. I'd like him to live if possible. He's a clue for this round, so it might be difficult, but... that's all.

[abovefate]

He's got pretty good odds. Since everyone will go for you, the people for that clue will still remain 3.

I'll take care of him.

[finalgambit]

In this round, yeah. I'm more concerned about next round. I want him to make it through the game. I'm sure the clues in the next round might grab everybody's attention, so this round might be long forgotten... especially if I make enough of a scene, but I just... want him to be okay. Like Wanderer is obsessed with taking care of you I'm just as concerned with taking care of him. He would be with me if I wasn't so... fucken stupid.

[abovefate]

I understand. You love him, don't you.

[finalgambit]

I do. He means the world to me.

[abovefate]

I can't promise nothing will happen to him, but I will sway any votes away from him.

[finalgambit]

That's all I'm asking. I know a miracle's out of the question, but just... do what you can. Thanks Yuuri. When all this is over maybe we can have a drink together... and we'll see if you can convince Wanderer to come. He hates me, you know. [ he laughs. ]
