Stuff like... You don't know what I can do to him and something like. [ Squints. ] Why would I want to be reminded of my failures? He seemed really out of it and I wonder if it's because of the weekly effect.
[ Gojou is like. Somewhat sympathetic because they went on such a wild ride.
That's true... Did you notice him acting weird around you yesterday? At all? Even before curfew.
[ Gojou frowns since despite the weird conversation he had with them, he does like Douman to some degree. More that there's a part of him that latches onto things he sees in them.
Also, don't mind if he checks Omi for injuries. Just cause clown at the food, doesn't mean they didn't maybe struggle after. ]
[ He doesn't like the idea of scapegoating someone, either. It just doesn't sit well. ]
We can probably talk to the justice hounds here and see if they're willing to figure something out. Douman was not... So friendly on the trip we went on, so I think they'll be keen on the fact he's gone.
[ Gojou doesn't think it's bad since he also thought gramps was going off the deep end. ]
[ The real answer is no. He took it from Mahito kind of, but yes. Gojou thinks of them as that, but he doesn't mean it as a derogatory term. He pats Omi's shoulder. ]
We'll figure something out, let's go talk to Mineo and Sasazuka.
[ He's going to take Gojou's hand in his, if he lets him. He's stressed and he doesn't want to die. Even if he thinks it's impeding, at least he can hold Gojou's hand through this. A tiny bit of stability he desperately needs right now. ]

Where are you? Can we talk?

[It doesn't take him long to get back.
He's standing right in front of the door and waiting.]
no subject
Hey. Are you all right?
no subject
[There's a moment of discomfort. He's seen what happens at trials. There's nobody to vote for but the culprit if they find them.
But...]
They tried to poison me.
no subject
Gramps?!
[ ????? ]
no subject
He nods. ]
no subject
You... Did you kill him, too?
[ WHAT IS GOING ON? He knows Omi has done things, but WHAT? ]
no subject
[Ugh.]
I used that power to force him to eat his own cooking.
no subject
[ Closing his eyes, he doesn't know what to say. ]
I should have known. He said some pretty weird things to me yesterday.
no subject
Is he supposed to be sorry? He isn't.
His arms are crossed. He doesn't move closer. ]
What did he say?
no subject
[ Gojou is like. Somewhat sympathetic because they went on such a wild ride.
However, clown is super shady. ]
no subject
[A tired sigh.]
We're both envy.
[It really could've been something like "If I can't have him, then you definitely can't".]

no subject
[ His arms have some nail marks after Douman struggled and Omi couldn't get far enough away. ]
I don't know if you remember any of that.
[ There's also a bruise on his throat, but that was from Gojou. ]
no subject
[ Mmf. But wouldn't it be better to be honest? Gojou closes his eyes. ]
Medb's really attached to him, too, so that's another issue if they figure it all out.
no subject
[ The marks are usually on his back, not his forearms.
Are they really doing this? They're going to lie about it?
Who's going to be hurt if they are? Is the group going to throw somebody else under the bus? ]
I don't know her well.

no subject
The... The justice hounds.
[ Is that what Gojou's been calling the officers? Somehow he's not surprised, even if he does repeat it back. ]
This is... I don't want anybody else to die because I defended myself.
no subject
We'll figure something out, let's go talk to Mineo and Sasazuka.
[ Cause Gojou knows they're Real cops. ]
no subject
... Okay. I trust you.
no subject
[ He takes his hands and interlaces their fingers, giving it a firm squeeze. Tugging him along, he gives the necessary people a text. ]
They're normies, too, so they should be sympathetic.
no subject
Will it actually be alright? He'd definitely like to believe it. ]
They'll understand self defense.
