[ Yu takes a deep breath in and out, forcing himself to relax slightly. ]
Thank you for being honest with me. In return, I'll tell you the truth. Yes, Love is my god, and I am the person who used Hopelessly Devoted on you this week.
Don't hold it against her—actually do, because even I thought it was reckless. But she gave me all the alignments she knew in the name of working together.
[... goddamnit yu]
Jerk. [though he doesn't sound too mad, just annoyed.] Why me?
[ A smile flickers across her face. ] I'm not angry. I will talk to her, though.
[ Yu considers that. ] ... first, I want to be clear I don't want to force anyone to switch. That's why I used my power the way I did. I wanted you to consider the idea, and come to a conclusion as to what to do on your own. As for why I picked you...
No, not at all. [ ... more seriously: ] I don't really like the idea of influencing others' thoughts. I certainly wouldn't do it for a joke.
I chose you because you're a logical person. I had faith you'd think it through. And, if you did decide to switch... [ thoughtfully. ] You'd stand a chance of convincing others.
[ Yu just ... looks at him, like he isn't quite sure what to make of the other boy.
In the end he'll shake his head. ]
... you have me at a pretty significant disadvantage. [ this is said quietly, and without color. ] You know my god, and you know my power, in a week where Love has become the definitive forerunner. Anyone with designs on advancing by kill will be targeting us this week.
You're not wrong. And sorry, but as unfair as it is, I don't know you well enough that I'm willing to return the favour out of pure goodwill.
All I'll say is that my god would be pretty unhappy if I killed you for something like that—that, and it'd be pretty dumb of me to go after someone with a mind-controlling ability, like how it was Itachi's misstep to target someone with Blame Game.
I believe Kaname-san understands the brutal nature of this game, maybe better than most. I don't think she'd shy away from difficult decisions, if they needed to be made. That's why I trust her. I know she'll take care of everyone as best she can.
I am a little nervous, [ he'll admit, like he's telling a secret. ] But I have to have faith in her, and in you. It's in the guidelines, remember? Having faith in each other. Paranoia and a refusal to trust each other... that will only make this game spiral out of control.
[ softly, almost to himself ] I choose to have faith.
[this is too soft for him so he's switching the topic.]
I don't know if you're already aware, but you probably will be either way if you talk to Madoka, so I'll tell you ahead of time—Nonon's also in Love, for the record.

What makes you think Love is my god?
no subject
And it depends on if you've been lying to other people about your alignment or not.

[ A beat, and with a very faint smile: ]
Sorry.

... for me, if Kaname-san trusts you, that's enough. My life and my god are in your hands, Ray-san. I hope we can work together.

[ Yu actually grins fleetingly, disarmed. ] It's pretty important to me. And for Love themselves... I really care about them. [ this part is softer. ]

Yu briefly looks surprised, and then an awfully gentle smile steals across his face. It might be kind of embarrassing to look at? Sorry about him. ]
I see... good to know. Thank you.
[ Shakes his head. ]
I won't ask who your god is, Ray-san. But I hope we reach a point where you feel you can tell me yourself.
no subject
We'll see. It's nothing personal right now, anyway.
no subject
[ Yu inclined his head. He's thoughtful for a moment, then: ]
Actually, I'd like to ask you something, if you don't mind. Nothing personal, don't worry.
