Before week 1 trial - for Akira

[HEY THERE READY FOR SOME COFFEE?

Because Undine has another fake-bottle. And she also looks concerned.]

Are you going to be alright?

Becoming the Composer is the more likely way to end things. Plus. . . the Composer is the only one who can bring back those who were Erased. [like Maya!] That's an ability we'd need, in order to save everyone.

[SURE ISN'T HELPING HER ASSUMPTIONS. she isn't exactly wrong, because he's toyed with the idea, but he wants to learn more about the person behind the Game before he commits. murder still isn't his style, unless it's a shitty god, he guesses]

But I don't know if I want to go that far. Killing the person at the top of the chain to create an open spot for promotion isn't really my style.

[ah]

If I could just climb the ranks, and gain enough influence to be able to change the Composer's mind, then. . .

[and he trails off]

[alchemicalwater]

Maybe that should be our request, then. If we successfully erase someone without getting caught, then we get to talk to the Composer.

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . .]

That's not a bad request, actually.

[BUT, THAT SAID]

I was-- well, I'm not Erasing anyone anytime soon. [firm!] But I asked for one of those partner pins if Terra gets away with it. Something to give to Ichigo, just in case. . . you know.

[alchemicalwater]

Yes, that makes the most sense. I don't want him to get hurt in all of this.

...next time, then. I'll help whoever does it next week, and if we succeed then that's what I'll ask for.

[purrtagonist]

All right.

[this sounds perfectly great with him, because all he's wanted to do from the moment he arrived here was talk to the Composer]

If you can bring a plus one, consider letting me go with you.

[alchemicalwater]

Of course.

[As if she would bring anyone else with her.]

I was just going to ask for the Composer to come to the next reaper meeting, though.

[purrtagonist]

That is an even better idea. I feel like they should be able to spare a bit of time for their employees, don't you?
