That's no good. [ now that he's had this brought to his attention, there's no way he can just ignore it. ]
Don't you want to find out where they're going? The only way for us to find out is if we get grabbed too! [ ...not the most tactful way to talk to someone who's literally still kidnapped back home, rin. ] C'mon, let's go see if we can find out where they're taking people from! [ so they can get taken too, obviously. ]
I know that! [ or at least, he says he does. he's still kind of treating it as one, even if he knows he shouldn't. ] It might be bad, but we still need to do what we can, right? Just running away from everything that's going on all the time's not gonna help.
[ he still needs to talk to her about that... but for the moment, he's conveniently forgotten. ]
It might not help, but it might also be the one thing to keep you alive, Okumura. [ she's going to excuse your boundless optimism on the fact that haven itself has not yet had a chance to crush it yet. yet. ]
Ooooh, I get it. Are you worried about me? [ see suguro, he told you that she cared about them. even if she's really weird about showing it. ] Hahah, it's okay, I won't die! I have too much stuff let to do.
[ even if he's kinda iffy about what those things are. ]
I'm not gonna die. [ duh. an attitude that will not change until he inevitably does. ]
Huh? [ he blinks at that last bit. ] Depend on me... ah, I get it now. [ too bad, he's drawing that conclusion anyway. ] Alright Izumo, if you need me around, just say so!
You're not taking this seriously enough!! Are you even listening to me!? This place has already killed me twice, Okumura — and even then I can tell you that that's not even the worst thing this place can do to you. Unlike me, you actually have friends here — people who look to you for strength! You can't afford to go risking your life as if you're living just for yourself!
[ his eyes widen at that. he knew things were tough here, but he didn't think something like that could happen. especially since, well, izumo is still alive, as far as he can tell. is she a zombie?
uh, either way. ]
That's not right. [ a pout. weirdly enough, that last part bugs him more than the death confession. ] You have friends here too, even if you don't think you do. If I can't risk my life, then you can't either. Besides, I'm not living just for me. If I have to put myself in danger to protect my friends, then I'll do it every time.
Gah... [ you can't see it, but he's dramatically wincing on the other end. ] Y, you really think she'd cry?
[ even he sees that she has a point though, so he coughs a few times and clears his throat. ] Alright! I won't do anything. This time. [ well played. ]

People are disappearing in groups again. You still here?
[ SHE DOESN'T CARE IF YOU'RE HER ROOMMATE, YOU'RE EITHER NOT IN RIGHT NOW OR SHE ISN'T OR SOMETHING shhh ]
( voice; )
[ he's probably off doing something stupid, let's just leave that part to the imagination. ]
What's going on? Where's everyone going? [ can he go too he wants to go somewhere that sounds fun. ]
( voice; )
I don't know, I didn't really pay that much attention to the ones that return. [ one group so far. but there's no telling if more might happen. ]
Just... keep an eye out. Be careful. Don't go or do anything you don't need to.
( voice; )

( voice; )
You... [ RIN??? ] Are you even listening to yourself? It's not some big adventure, idiot! Didn't Moriyama tell you how bad this place can be?!
[ just be thankful she hasn't been kidnapped yet from her canon point, otherwise you'd be feeling the cold... ]
( voice; )
I know that! [ or at least, he says he does. he's still kind of treating it as one, even if he knows he shouldn't. ] It might be bad, but we still need to do what we can, right? Just running away from everything that's going on all the time's not gonna help.

( voice; )
[ gotta give her credit for trying, though. ]
( voice; )
[ his raison d'etre, even if it might be false. ]
( voice; )
[ not that she does. obviously! ]
( voice; )
Huh? [ he blinks at that last bit. ] Depend on me... ah, I get it now. [ too bad, he's drawing that conclusion anyway. ] Alright Izumo, if you need me around, just say so!

Just. Be careful, okay! Moriyama will cry if anything happens to you.
[ yep, pulling out the big guns now. ]
( voice; )
Gah... [ you can't see it, but he's dramatically wincing on the other end. ] Y, you really think she'd cry?
[ even he sees that she has a point though, so he coughs a few times and clears his throat. ] Alright! I won't do anything. This time. [ well played. ]
( voice; )
Of course she will. [ she'll cry over anything, lbr. ] She always will.
( voice; )
[ does she? rin is kind of blind to this kind of stuff. ]
( voice; )
[ kind of a low blow thing to say, but she's hoping that will just drive the point home here. haven isn't like home, rin. WISE UP. ]
( voice; )
Then I'll make it so she doesn't have to cry anymore!
( voice; )
[ hear how supportive she sounds... ]
( voice; )
I'll do my best!
( voice; )
Good luck. [ and with that, satisfied he's alive and well and himself (sadly), she'll hang up like a good friend. :') ]
