[ Everybody stressing themselves out the last 45 minutes of trial... maybe it was better that he was unconscious for it. Adlet might've been midtrialed if he was, though. ]
I'm okay! I asked around, and the mayor isn't here.
[ Can you imagine Ryuki telling him, it'd end up with Hanako comforting Ryuki, not the other way around
The confirmation, though, still sucks. ]
We weren't close friends or anything, but... [ they weren't friends, not really. but he liked Adlet. Same way he liked Hans, and other questionable people. ]
He always reminds me to keep on smiling. I don't want him gone.
[ It sounded like Adlet jumped the gun on this, but it's not like Hanako can't understand. You have to act on your rage or else it'll fizzle out and you're left with having to think things through and come to a realization that you're wrong, actually,
it just makes him sigh, and sink a little lower in his place in bed ]
[ of course he hopes Reigen doesn't die. that's his ice cream. they should get more ice cream— Reigen's going to need all the luck he can get tomorrow ]
No promises. [he's not going to promise he'll for sure be okay, that's a fucked up thing to lie to a kid about even for him.] But a lot of people and things have tried to kill me, and they have all failed despite the overwhelming odds in their favor, so we'll see.
[listen, the way his luck is going it will probably be hanako out there instead. him being the one to face the consequences of his actions? not likely! maybe he bought too much ice cream.]
...Evil spirits, wannabe supervillains, terrorist organizations, unleashed raw psychic energy. Things like that.
[not that he's usually the intended target but he definitely by all reasoning should have died at some point.]
Eh, I can't say I didn't bring it on myself, though, seeing as it's the line of work I got into.
[no one ever made him or asked him or wanted him to do any of this. he did all this because he was bored and it's easy to lie to children.]
Anyway, don't worry too much. These things have a way of working out. [watch rita die. even though his actual meaning behind this is that adlet seems like it wouldn't be that hard to trick him.] Though I guess that's a crazy thing to say when someone is going to get executed no matter what.
Just... [how to put this.] I know this might be hard to understand, but it's important. You asked him to test those needles on you, but no one else there was willing to see you go through that kind of danger. Offering to hurt yourself for other people is something I know you've been talked to about, but the fact that someone would take you up on it is important to pay attention to, too.
[ Is it so damning to go along with Hanako's demands? Maybe he'd gotten too used to the whole dynamic where the other Mysteries repeatedly stress how bad an idea it is that he's got, and then they agree to it anyways because he's threatening them with a knife. ]
[he doesn't want to tell him no but also he does?]
I'm not sure what he was thinking. I had the impression he didn't want to hurt you, either. At least, he seemed most resistant to the idea. And then in a corner, he suddenly appeared to change his mind. I don't think I know him well enough to speculate about what was in his head.
But Nimona respects you, right? And she still didn't want you to be hurt.
But Nimona also thinks I'm just a kid. Adlet didn't. We were going to raid the police station together. We were going to smoke out and kidnap the mayor.
[ they were going to have so much fun together ): ]

I'm okay! I asked around, and the mayor isn't here.
[ or they're just not telling him ]
no subject
[maybe it was better he was unconscious for it, but it's also in so many ways worse now.]
...Did anybody fill you in?
no subject
Not of the details. Just that Adlet was voted as the villain.
[ But they're wrong, right? They just ran out of time and panicked? ]
no subject
[well. he honestly feels like hanako should probably have this conversation with datz and ryuki, not him, but.]
Yeah, he was. I'm sorry about that. I know he's your friend.
no subject

no subject
Yeah. I know. It's not fair, or right. Any time one person is picked and another isn't, it isn't fair.
no subject
...especially when the person who isn't picked... is one that gets away with it. He was mad about Hans, wasn't he?
no subject
[shoving his hands in his pockets.]
But Whisper didn't have anything to do with that, so it's still a little hard to understand.
no subject
[ even as he asks, he's like ehhhhhhhhhh she wouldn't though ]
no subject
no subject
it just makes him sigh, and sink a little lower in his place in bed ]
I hope it's not you tomorrow. You'll die.
no subject
[actually he's kind of glad to know hanako hopes he doesn't die.]
I hope it's not me tomorrow, too. Though I'm not so sure I'd die.
no subject
You'll for sure be okay?
no subject
no subject
You mean evil spirits, and stuff like that?
[ not... people? mafia?? ]
no subject
...Evil spirits, wannabe supervillains, terrorist organizations, unleashed raw psychic energy. Things like that.
[not that he's usually the intended target but he definitely by all reasoning should have died at some point.]
no subject
You're such a magnet for trouble.
[ He's worse than Hanako. (Hanako's the one who causes trouble) ]
no subject

It wasn't out of respect...?

no subject
[ THIS IS NEWS TO HIM ]
no subject
no subject
Nimona?? respects HIM????? why would she do that that's such a bad idea ]
no subject
The point is, she respects you, and she didn't want you to be stabbed. So stabbing probably isn't a sign of respect.
no subject
[ Not a definitely. ]
But Nimona also thinks I'm just a kid. Adlet didn't. We were going to raid the police station together. We were going to smoke out and kidnap the mayor.
