[He should be difficult to find, but he isn't. Instead, he is standing on the town bridge, as usual, broodily looking out over the water with his lips thin, and his arms resting on the railings.
He doesn't look at Soo-won, but his eyes do shift down like he is glancing out of the corner of them without turning his head.]
[show him someone else who can accomplish as much as he does and maybe he won't work so hard!
that said . . . . ]
I do.
But similarly, I cannot tell you. In this situation... the less people who are aware - the better. It is for your own sake that I would like it if you did not inquire further.
I do not know if his duties go with him. But if we are lucky, and that is not the case, I trust you will be able to find the one who may fill his shoes.

I'm listening.
no subject
he approaches nonetheless.]
Will you tell me why you could be assured that the others were not awake?
no subject
Someone told me who was asleep in the first aid station, the clothing store, and the village.
no subject
[but
given the task rule this week
he's actually not going to force it]
no subject
But the how is because they were awake.
no subject
[but - admittedly, based on the levity in his voice, he's just teasing.]
... were they awake because they were the other killer?
Or is it because they possess an ability or item that allowed them to be awake on Thursday evening?
no subject
They possess an ability that allows them to be awake on Thursday nights.
no subject
If possible, beginning next week when you are not expected to complete a task -
I would like it if you could ask them, whether they would be willing to entrust their identity to me.
I will do my best to protect them as well. The more that I know, the more I can accomplish.
no subject
I will ask them. [He glances away, and then back.] Do you know anyone else who has one? An ability that lets them do something like that.
no subject
that said . . . . ]
I do.
But similarly, I cannot tell you. In this situation... the less people who are aware - the better. It is for your own sake that I would like it if you did not inquire further.
no subject
I know another as well. [There's a considering, hesitant pause.] But it won't matter after tomorrow.
no subject
Emet-Selch possesses an ability?
no subject
He just looks at Soo-won.]
no subject
the thinking never ends]
Can you tell me what the ability is?
no subject
[He glances away.]
At the risk of something happening, I believe he was able to do something in regards to the rules.
no subject
. . . . . . ]
I'm surprised you'd trust me with this.
[if he's
being honest. but now he knows he cannot fucking ask emet-selch thanks]
no subject
I do not know if his duties go with him. But if we are lucky, and that is not the case, I trust you will be able to find the one who may fill his shoes.
If you knew what you were looking for.
no subject
[but
that does make him smile a bit, even as he sighs and lets his arms rest on the railing of the bridge as well]
... I will try to do well by the trust you place in me.
no subject
[He is RESIGNED.]
So this is the best I can do instead.
no subject
... thank you.
I will try to ensure that I do not disappoint you. And perhaps I will have a nice long rest tonight.
no subject
I hope it isn't useless to remind you that you aren't invincible. So try not to run yourself into the ground.
no subject
[and he'll look out into the water, letting himself lean more heavily on the railing as he smiles, gently amused and touched from the concern]
I will only make the best of what I have, in the time that I possess.
Isn't that what we're all doing? I'm not very different from anyone else.
