You know that's not what I fucking mean. [she says, sharply.] It's being done to help, but what, we just have to stand by and just be like, okay! Time to sit and wait to be fucking murdered! Like, helpful or not, we're still getting killed, Riku!
What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to just sit here and let someone else solve my problems for me.
I know that. I agree! Caleb is the one who doesn't.
[He did not mean to throw Caleb under the bus actually, and so he sort of looks surprised, like he maybe shouldn't have said that.]
No--I mean. Nevermind. I don't think we should lie down and die. But if it's trying to make us play this game... we're going to have to... I don't know. If they're saving people, they're saving certain ones, right? Ones in danger.
If we get rid of them all, we'll lose them and those people. There's no telling what this place will do to the rest of us if it's not getting what it wants--a story.
And fuck this place. I'm not going to just give it what it wants, are you kidding me? On what fucking authority does it have to play with us like this?
[even if it did have authority, she'd hate it, let's be real]
He's worried because of what Otome said at the trial. About it being to help.
[He looks exasperated. Why is this just SORA. Gently, he jabs her with his elbow. His ear!]
On the authority it could obliterate someone right in front of us without any warning! Look, I'm not disagreeing with you here. I don't want to let this place control me either.
But I want--to plan! I don't want one of our friends to die in front of all of us because we decided to be rash, even if dying apparently is helping. We can't all... just die.
