That's not the reason why though...!

Oh, come on... 😭

Look it's just a massive coincidence I end up dating people who may or may not have tried to kill Joker. [Lapis, Akechi, Wonder...]

My heart and desires were locked away for so long... I was at risk of losing them for good. But I finally have them back. And the world seems a lot...brighter now.

Apparently, there's a whole other group out there whose purpose is to return lost Desires... They helped me.

[Thinking about Ryuji and Makoto in swimsuits.] ....yeah I'll go to the beach-

It's fine if he's there. After all, it isn't exactly a safe location. If he tries anything... There is so much water, it would be easy to... ...get rid of the nuisance for good.

...I'm very unsure. Plus I'm sure she'll be busy.

I meant she'll be busy with the others when we're there. ....You guys have fun, okay? I'll go to the next one.

...I'm not comfortable, alright? And I know I won't be pleasant if the...others, are there. If you go again with a /smaller/ group, I'll go. But I'll sit this one out. You guys have fun.

Maybe I was a little presumptuous in wanting to rejoin. ...we don't have to be enemies anymore, but... I don't think this is helping anyone...

Popping up behind 𝐵𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑒-ℎ𝑎𝑖𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑑𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑠. "Hey there, handsome~ Come here often?"

Yes. ....Just not /him/.

... I'll go, then. I just truly disagree with the concept of group activities including him. He's not one of us. He never will be.

...What happens in everyone else's free time is none of my business, and I honestly don't mind nor care what happens. I've just...always hated sharing my time with friends with him. I don't want roped into anything involving him.

For some reason, I yearn to be a boyfriend. But only for Mako-chan... 💧

...... 💢 ....... 💧 [She just sighs away the frustration.] Do you have to sound so sad about it?

hey Goro Akechi

Why are you asking? Of course I can't stand him... You're acting strange... You should just speak your mind. If I can, you should too.

[Would purposely set Ryuji and Yusuke off on a huge tangent RIGHT before bed so Akechi would have to deal with their talking all night in the tent.]
