[ a shrug! ]

Alright. Not knowing won't affect my own role, anyway. I won't ask anything more.

[ he does give kagachi a smile. ]

Then let's do our best to get everyone home, shall we?

[preceptive]

Of course. That was never in doubt.

[namelessfighter]

They chose well with you, didn't they?

[ not that kanesan doubted it. ]

I will say that there are others who suspect you have a role, too - either through numbers or through the same logic I brought you. But I won't be the one to give you away, if someone asks.

[preceptive]

I'm pretty sure half the ship knows by now. I haven't exactly been hiding it.

[namelessfighter]

Neither have I, but only two have approached me about it directly. The only reason I bring it up is that it being more widely spread makes us a bigger target. The more who know, the easier it will be for the demons possessing some of us to learn and try to eliminate a potential threat. Junpei did say we could be replaced if necessary, but...

Do try to stay safe, Kagachi.

[preceptive]

I'm more concerned about people like Junpei and Dick. They're well-liked and at the heart of a lot of circles.

[namelessfighter]

Mm, and given the work they're doing, they're the obvious targets.

[ frowning, he crosses his arms. ]

Obviously we don't want to lose anyone if we can avoid it, but those two have made themselves central to our mission here. Though I don't know if there's a way to protect them anymore than we've already been doing.

[preceptive]

It doesn't seem like it, so far. Death is difficult to beat.

... Speaking of which—do you have any idea what happened to Dimitri?

[namelessfighter]

...Ah.

I may have an idea, yes.

[preceptive]

... Is it something you're allowed to say?

[namelessfighter]

Under the right conditions... yes.

[preceptive]

Does it have to do with a role?

[namelessfighter]

[ a nod! ]

[preceptive]

Does it have to do with your role?

[namelessfighter]

Yes.

[preceptive]

Were you the one who exorcised him?

[namelessfighter]

[ kanesan smiles, and for once there is no trace of his usual good humor in it. ]

Yes.

[preceptive]

[well then.]

... Then that's another function of your role. You were... told ahead of time that he was possessed, or...?

[namelessfighter]

Mm. I was told on Monday night. I would have liked to warn Higekiri and Hizamaru, but...

[ a shake of his head. ]

As you know, our roles must first be discovered before we can share anything.

[preceptive]

Do they know now that it was you?

... And why were you told about Dimitri? I assume you didn't know about any of the other possessions.

[namelessfighter]

...They know I have a role, but Higekiri did not ask about Dimitri.

[ is that a no ]

As for that, I can't say. This is the first time I've been told beforehand.

[preceptive]

Did you ask the hosts?

[namelessfighter]

There wasn't time to.

[ because ray was busy irl ]

There's a chance that they didn't know any more than we did, or that they simply couldn't say so until now. There have been other things they couldn't comment on until a later date.

[preceptive]

Why your role, though? I don't see how it's related to the notes you get.

[namelessfighter]

Do you think the notes are my role's main focus?
