Sort of.
But I think it's...
[ . . . ]
If you've made a mistake and get down in the dumps... it's easy to start wondering if there's a point to continuing, or you get really distrustful. Like you start thinking it's easier to get stuff done on your own, instead of noticing everybody who wants to help you out.
[he scratches his cheek]
... maybe that a problem unique to me. But I also think I don't want anyone to start feeling like we're all... pitted against each other. Sure, there's some assholes, but not everybody.... you know?
[to an extent, she gets it. when she gets really down in the dumps, she tends to cling on to people - as ming yi well knows (save him). but there have been times when she's wondered if it would be better to pull away.
recently, even.
it's why she's here, after all.]
I don't think that's a problem that's unique to you. But you're right - it would be better, I think, if we didn't turn on one another.
[the problem is whoever killed tamaki and framed beau. they're likely still within their midst... that's a hurdle to get over, for sure.]
People are stronger together than they are alone. That's true whether you're a human, or a god, or something else entirely.
he just nods at that, letting his elbow fall on the counter of the bar and letting his head fall on it as he thinks.]
I think that it's gonna be hard to trust anybody here - at least for as long as we don't know what happened to Suoh-san.
But... even if it's a race to get what we want, I hope that we can at least try to look out for each other. Even if there's some... weirdos around here - [he sure did punch grell today]
[rip grell - mineo even threw a punch so he can't even disagree]
.... yeah. I think the same but -
What about Beauregard-san? I figure... Molly-san's wish has probably changed. And I want him to be able to get both what he originally wanted, and his friend back.
There may be ways around that. If we can find a way to describe it that encapsulates what he came here for and bringing her back in a single wish, that might work.
[...]
Otherwise... well, it's a bridge that we'll cross when we come to it, I suppose, but - there must be some way to ensure that.
I have some idea of what might be able to be done, but I'm not sure he'll want to hear it at the moment. [she. sips at her wine.] If his wish changes, then someone else's wish could change too, no?
[molly is getting what he wants, so there. one way or another.]
But more information is important before we settle on any one idea, so I agree we ought to talk to the Avatars.
[shi qingxuan is set on this course - doing what she can for people, that is. molly's at the top of that list at the moment, but if she has her way, everyone else will be just fine, too.]

I thought everyone's been pretty nice.

I agree - I've only had a few quarrels with anyone here.
[one of them was today! i'm so sad because i personally love grell but sqx's impression of her tanked so hard.]
If it is a race, then I see no reason why we can't make an effort to cross the finish line together.

We'll have to talk to the Avatars about it but - I figure we've got loads of questions for them anyway.

Then... let's get to it.
We can at least try to do what we can for people. We're stuck here regardless anyway, apparently.

We will do this.

You're a really encouraging person, Shi-san.
Thanks for talking things out with me.

[she smiles at him.]
I'm glad to have been of some assistance.
