post-trial week 6: for Setz

[alchemicalwater]

[HEY SETZ GUESS WHO'S HERE]

Thank you, for everything you did.

[subordinacy]

... Huh? I didn't really do that much, though...

[alchemicalwater]

Don't downplay what you did! You helped get all of the groups to work together. Despite how suspicious we all were of each other, everyone trusted you.

[subordinacy]

... I wouldn't say the other Reapers trusted me, exactly...

[Jacopo had been pissed off at him being in the middle, to put it lightly.]

Akira did well in convincing them—and Magnus and Taako—I think.

[alchemicalwater]

They all helped. And so did you.

And...you helped me a lot too. So I'll always be grateful for that.

[subordinacy]

...? I don't know what I did, but... you're welcome, I suppose.

[alchemicalwater]

Just talking was enough. There were a lot of times there that I seriously thought about giving up, about just dying so the game could end. But talking with you was comforting.

[subordinacy]

[... He does not see himself as a comforting person at all, so this is a surprise to hear, but.]

Oh. That's... good. [...] You did your best throughout this Game. Thank you for that.

[alchemicalwater]

[She nods, acknowledging that. Honestly, as long as they all helped each other, it's fine.]

Have you thought about what you're going to do next?

[subordinacy]

... Well, first, it depends on how tomorrow's judgment goes.

[alchemicalwater]

Ah, right, good point. We still don't know what's going to happen for sure.

But if we get a good judgement, what do you think you'll do?

[subordinacy]

Go back home. I don't intend on becoming a Reaper.

[alchemicalwater]

I figured most people would want to go home, yes.

[Reapers tend to be the ones who don't have anything to go home to, after all.]

I guess we'll be saying goodbye soon, then.

[subordinacy]

[Setz doesn't exactly have much to go back to, but... there are still a few threads he needs to tie up—and above all, his duty binds him.]

... Seems like it.

[alchemicalwater]

Listen, I...

[God, how does she even begin to say any of this?]

No matter where you go, don't forget about any of us, alright?

[subordinacy]

[...]

Don't worry. I won't.

[alchemicalwater]

Good. Because I won't forget you either.
