[Every single one of these "minigames" is terrible, but this has to be one of the worst. Shin's stress level has not left the ceiling since the start, every single hair on his body prickling for the slightest sign the monster is going to turn around, every single nerve screaming that it will. There's been some split second close calls so far.

He never liked this sort of thing even when it was fake and 'all in good fun'.]


Keep your voice down.

[His voice is detached and steady only because the rest of him is hidden behind his scarf. He's thinking, but also who knows how well that thing can hear.]

I don't care if you want to die... but don't go dragging anyone down with you.

[Is this meant to be encouragement? Shin please never work at a suicide hotline.

It's also kind of a lie, it's been bothering him, in a darkened room where everything's been locked away. It's thrown him off, because while he's had some time such that he's not as set off kilter as he was in the trial itself, he still can't understand it. If he could read Franz's thoughts and see that balking at the reality of it some part of him might bark 'Ha!' but he can't. Was it all some grand gesture or ploy instead, like Shin's own with Kanna?

Shin shifts against the wall, pulling back from peering around it, catching the tail end of the expression. It's an uncertainty he's heard before, incongruous coming from this confident guy.]


You've been keeping track, huh?

[It's stalling. Shin can, in theory, but... he can't waste Keiji on this. There's only one pairing set each, and Shin knows, and despises the fact, that he's going to need help on the arm wrestling one because if his partner on that fails, he's guaranteed to lose. He's not looking forward to Keiji making him eat crow about it, too.]

We're already halfway through. Going back and doing it again with someone else means more time at risk. Let's just get this over with.

[He's hoping the logic is persuasive enough, despite the incoming contradiction.]

...Although since we're safe behind the wall, we can catch our breath for a bit.
