Yes. And it'll be be painful. [ nooot disagreeing ] But there'll be good things, too. There'll be a chance for Buzen. [ and for d, but livio still has big mixed feelings about him. doesn't even know how much rang cares for d, actually. ]
Plus.... [ a bit of a wry grin, this is half a joke ] Ya can spite everyone by stickin' around.
It's not really about them, though. It's about you two.
[ the people here are the people here. but ]
I can't force ya to do anything. But I think you and Matsui should stick around. And you were a force to be reckoned with today at trial. [ he means that positively ]
if only livio's words weren't only heard by him. if only matsui was in a condition to receive kindness. maybe not from all, but from a few. he thinks it's crazy how he has to be here instead of him,]
I barely knew what I was doing. I blamed the rest of you all, but it's not like I forcibly stripped people to get them to comply.
[ don't you worry, rang. livio is also going after matsui. points at eyes points at aki ]
... Ya did do too much licking and snapping. [ livio says wryly. thankfully he doesn't know about haru licking the floor ] But yer pretty sharp. Acid to break a sword isn't somethin' most people would think of. [ for example ] Plus, you made that deal with Alex, right?
[RANG GETTING BLAMED FOR LICKING WHEN HARU WAS OUT THER LICKING THE FLOOR,]
Ah, right. [he almost forgot] We didn't decide on the terms yet, so the deal's still invalid.
[RANG IS SO ANNOYING AND LIVIO HAS TO REALLY STAND HERE WITH HIM!!!]
And Gyuhyuk is lucky I didn't break his neck. Why he didn't change his clothes before trial is beyond me -- humans continue to amaze with their idiocy.
I'll make a deal with ya, if yer gonna be stubborn about it.
[ rang still licked, but haru licked in secret.... ]
[ anyway it's fine ] I guess he thought it'd be suspicious. [ livio is a bit exacerbated at rang complaining about humans again but he can share the sentiment of annoyance on gyuhyuk specifically ] Idiot.

But there's no savin' Buzen if either one of you gets erased. You both know that, right?
[ he's sure they do, but he just wants to impress that ]
no subject
Do you think I, of all people, can convince him to stay?
[it's bitter, but the emotion here is just regret and guilt,]
no subject
[ some regret, guilt, and........ true empathy? leaks through. hm. livio clamps down quick ]
Ya can try. I'll try, too. That's all we can do.
no subject
rang eyes livio, his own emotions flickering,]
...If we stay, then we'll keep being betrayed.
[and here the we means more than just him and masui, it might mean livio too, standing here now]

[to spite everyone. he's kept living on spite alone, rage, and the desperate desire.... well, thinking of that now isn't productive either,]
...I can't make a decision now. I hate too many of the people here right now, for so many different reasons.
[though they all boil down to one, the hurt they've caused rang -- even if these people weren't aware of it,]
