[YEAH SIR HELLO YOU'RE GETTING LOCKED INTO AN APOCALYPSE. Souji just smiles, shaking his head.]
Wars must simply progress as they do - but thank you for the offer, Rupert-kun. You're very kind to even think to offer help, given how much of a burden you carry.
Yeah, I will. I'm really looking forward to once my whole thing is handled... It'd be nice for everyone to get some good news after this, right? I bet you feel the same.
I do, yes. One can never have too much good news! And those of us who have ended up here - I feel like we in particular are due more than just a small bit of it, you know?
[HELP. WHEN SOUJI MEANT "ENDED UP HERE" AS IN MURDERGAMES IN GENERAL AND NOT SPECIFICALLY BEING DEAD. This is so funny.]
I am choosing to believe that it is, because I think we've had more than enough of bad news and generally ungood news and also news that could be interpreted as potentially unfortunate.

Yes... It's a difficult time for everyone, unfortunately. Unsurprising, given the nature of war.

Of course I'd offer. That's what friends do. If we have a way to contact each other once all this is over, though... Let me know once it's done?
no subject
--Of course, should you do the same for me. And even if we don't, I will remember this kindness. Thank you.

Right. This is the second time for you, right? So...
[he truly should have some good karma coming.[
no subject
[Since he was only awake at the tail end of camp. Ah, hostage life.]
Two for almost all of us and three for some, yes? No one's first time, and no one's fourth or more?
no subject
[that awkward moment when he definitely meant `the second time you've died` but now he can't say that without bringing the vibes down. anyways.]
Tsurumaru, Shinobu and Dimitri are on their third... But if there's someone on their fourth, I haven't heard about it. Hopefully that's a good sign.
[or the lack of an even worse sign.]

Yeah. It's not so bad to be a little optimistic.

[Optimism! It's copium, honestly.]
