All's well that ends well

[ So you've wished the dead back to life, but there's still 2 wishes you have to make. Ultimately what happens from here is entirely in your hands, but for the first time in eight weeks everyone is alive and whole again (even that pesky merman). There is that corruption you should deal with, but surely you know what to do about that.

Once you've settled and wound down a bit, maybe you should relax a bit before going your separate ways. You've earned it.

[ He opens his mouth to say something... but then he thinks better of it and closes it, choosing to say something else entirely than what he planned. ]

Well, it is what it is, I suppose.

[ He's still rubbing his face. Ow. ]

[maddogs]

I'm pretty sure the rest of these fucks are gonna let ya off easy, but don't try somethin' like this again. Your family's all watchin' ya somewhere, ya know?

[ he figures since he got his name back maybe he loves ppl again?? so hes not going to berate him as hard ]

[divinated]

[ He looks a little surprised upon hearing that. ]

Y-Yes...

[ Masumi is still rubbing his cheek. But, he figures he shouldn't leave it at that, and even if it may not be wanted... ]

... I'm sorry, for involving you in this game, and for everything I've done to you in its duration.

[maddogs]

Well, your word's fuckin' meaningless ta me, but I figure the others'll probably take it.

[ he shrugs. ]

They forgave Kizakura and Mako and Jansen, so all ya gotta tell 'em is "Oh it was the corruption! It wasn't me! I'm jus' a poor innocent kid!" an' you'll get 'em all ta roll over in a heartbeat. Mention your family, that works pretty well for 'em, too.

[ is he helping him or berating him or just shittalking the others its hard to tell ]

I'm curious about somethin' other than your inability to make good on promises, though. How come ya never told anyone the truth about the Teishu? Ya know ya coulda had more allies like that.

[divinated]

I'd rather not.

[ So, you know.

He'll just move on from that. ]

I could've told everyone the truth about the Teishu. But, I think at the time I was too full of myself and assumed that it wouldn't really matter, if you get what I mean.

[maddogs]

Yeah, I gotcha.

[ there's a beat ]

Fuck, this is like kickin' a dog when he's down. Ya can still go fuck yourself, but I guess ya should keep livin' an' try an' make your life better an' shit.

[ since after all ]

Teishu isn't gettin' that choice, so you should count yourself damn lucky.

[divinated]

I'll take that, at least.

[ It's...something. ]

It really is pure luck that I am here, yes. I suppose it might have to do with the string of bad luck I had beforehand. But, I'm not going to waste whatever chance I have been given.

[maddogs]

Good. Ya better not. Ya owe it ta all these people ya hurt.

[divinated]

Mhm!

[ He'll nod with a smile. ]

Also, I wish you a safe travel, Majima-san. If there's anything you need from me, just let me know!

[ After a period of hesitation, Masumi will give a short bow and then he'll scamper off. ]
