[did buzen maybe wait to be locked in to make sure that he (and by extension, matsui) exist as collateral against rang. maybe. but he won't tell anyone that. :') sometimes tsuru's teachings really resonate in such questionable ways in our favorite gou.

but buzen will accept the lean, and he'll actually let his arm wrap around rang in turn, supporting him automatically. he laughs a little bit too, and shakes his head.]

I don't dislike you, Rang-san. If someone comes after you first, you should erase them. I plan on doing the same. I won't go down without a fight.

[everyone in chroma like BUZEN WOULD BE NICE EVEN TO HIS KILLER - WRONG! BUZEN WOULD KILL FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER]

But I want to help you win, because winning is important to you. I'll do everything I can to help our team, because I don't like letting people down.

I just thought it was important to mention what I will or won't accept, if we're going to be working together.
