[absolutely. he bought a bunch of cute dorm room type furniture with the idea of trying to upsell it to college students, but it's all coming in boxes and looking very complicated.]
...Hmm.
...Hmm.
...Hm.
[ Thank god Hanako died before he had to deal with college Ikea furniture. It looks like a pain to assemble, but he looks interested all the same, poking at one of the little baggies of screws that came along with one of the boxes. ]
What'cha building? Your own house?

Not necessarily. I think there's a need in this community for high quality but affordable and personalized furniture. That's why I bought this - to fill that need.
I see.
[ sort of? not really, but he starts going through the bits and pieces that are already unpacked and tries to put together something that might be a desk or a chair or both ]
I guess a town needs an "everyday" hero too. I didn't know you were a carpenter, though?

I'm no carpenter. Let me tell you a secret, Hanako.
[turning to point at him as though he intends to instill great wisdom.]
The business model of this store is to sell furniture for cheap, but make their instructions so confusing you shell out for expensive assembly services. But if you can look past how confusing the instructions are, you'll see that any person is capable of assembling this furniture if they give it their all.

[ ...He hasn't thought about it in a long time now, but this isn't the first time he'd been faced with the insurmountable task of putting something together when he had no idea where to even start. He had given it his all... he thought... but in the end, he was never able to fix it. ]
Looks past it, huh...? Okay.
[ takes out the instruction pamphlets and tosses them over his shoulder. ]
We won't be needing these, then! Let's get to work.

[watches him, smiling, as he throws the instructions away. they very much needed those, but he doesn't want to break his spirit.]
...Yes! Let's get started.
[getting out so many little packets of screws and tiny little beams. where the hell do these go.]
...Yes! Let's get started.

[ screws go into little screw holes, the beams... he's not sure, so he sets them off to the side for Reigen to figure out
He's right, though! this is pretty intuitive. it doesn't take long before Hanako's putting together some quadruple-decker bunk beds with attached desks and a floating chair hammered to the top bunk for anybody who likes to sit up high ]

Hanako...
[honestly, he's impressed by this even if it's completely wrong. he doesn't want to discourage his imagination.
also, this didn't cost him any money so he doesn't care that much.]
You have a natural talent for this. Are you sure you aren't a carpenter?
[meanwhile he is absolutely failing to correctly construct a stupid chair. where is this little plastic blue piece supposed to go?]

Back then? When you were a kid?
[he sort of watches him while he vaguely tries to take one of the legs off this chair because he put it on the right way.]
Of course. Leave that to me. Maybe this should be classified as an art piece.

[yeah. okay. so, shit. how does he manage to have this conversation.]
...So. You want me to try and use my power to take out the town? Who specifically - Mayor? Someone else? Everyone?
...So. You want me to try and use my power to take out the town? Who specifically - Mayor? Someone else? Everyone?
That's what I said. So your vision is that all of us get killed, too?
Evacuate where, exactly...?
[they can't leave?]
[they can't leave?]
That's not a bad idea. The prison might be safe in the case of an all out attack... I bet there are other places like that, too. Sounds like the mayor isn't the guy actually in charge, so - wherever the people actually in charge are hiding out, they're probably using the same technology as the prison.
[no, the prison has some kind of power nullification thing going on.]
He seems kind of...unreliable? Like a figurehead. Also, Snake told me the person the team leaders talk to is someone whose face they haven't seen.

[ Hanako hears about a new person in charge and immediately his murder aura flares ]
I never heard about that... Mouse told me there was no leaders among the leaders. So they lied to me.
[ or he wasn't specific enough but still!! Mouse!!!!! ]
What do you know about this person?

What do you know about this person?
...I'm not sure they lied, Hanako. Snake never described this person as their leader. Just someone they get information from, like the information about this competition. It's my speculation that this is a person calling the shots.
[please unflare your murder aura.]
Anyway, all I know is that they're getting this shady info from someone they've never actually met, and that in the past they've been pretty reasonable, but suddenly started being really unreasonable around the time we showed up. So it seems pretty suspicious to me.

Why listen to this person at all, if they're suddenly so different? It's not like the leaders have to, unless they can't disobey. Like... if this person is the one threatening everybody's homes.
[ which in that case!! it's better Hanako fans the flames of his murder aura, right? ]
