Re: phonecall
We're kidnapped, you fucking idiot.

I know that. I can't make the decision for anyone else, when they might be suffering because of this, but...
...But I won't go anywhere where Raikou-san isn't going. I made the choice to stay by his side, and if he wants to stay here, then so will I.
Re: phonecall
[a pause]
D'ya know if he wants ta stay?
phonecall
[...But what? If the landlord is overthrown, then it's more than likely this idyllic life he's built with Raikou would be disrupted anyway.
It was selfish, and turning his back on quite a few of his moral standings, to say that he'd ignore the needs of the many to provide for the need of himself.
But, but, but-]
...I haven't asked him, but because of our circumstances, I think I already know the answer.
[And the last thing Gau would do, after all their sacrifices and pain, would be to deny Raikou the chance to be alive and happy with his family.]
Re: phonecall

[A detailed answer would require a. speaking for Raikou when he wasn't exactly 100% sure if he was correct and b. explaining the personal details of Raikou's past thereby c. revealing information about the hidden world.]
Even if I think I know the answer, I can't speak for him. Please understand that, Badou-san.
Re: phonecall
Ask him, an' get back t'me for sure, alright?
phonecall
[More unusual silence, pause and hesitation, from Gau.
Even if he did ask and know the answer absolutely, it circled back around to requirement c. The reasoning behind Raikou's actions would always be entangled with his past, with the fall of the Shimizu family and the guilt Gau knew he still held for it. It would be impossible to separate an report and an explanation from all of this.
He wasn't sure what to call Badou. A pain in the side, an acquaintance, an annoyance, someone to argue with- nothing really covered the relationship well, and he didn't think "friend" would in any case.
But even if it was for Raikou's sake and he had no doubts about what to do, he was starting to actively dislike lying to him constantly, as he had to.
He knew that simple and now accepted fact of his life was why he couldn't really call any of his acquaintances on the surface word friends either. He accepted that, and he had to accept this now-
...But he didn't have to lie about accepting it, did he.]
...I can't do that either. I'm sorry.
Re: phonecall

[The problem wasn't with the answer itself, but with the questions that Badou (by track record) would logically ask as to why.]
Re: phonecall
[it's true that he wants to know for practical reasons how helpful Gau and his cronies would be in getting out. but it's more true that he just wants to know about Gau and his cronies, full stop -- they're all hiding something, and anything hidden is irresistible to the boy raised to dig at the heart of every secret and make everything known to him]
[but. it's not just somebody, some loser with feelings he doesn't care about trampling over in his desire to know everything -- it's Gau Meguro, and Badou has no idea how to treat the other boy's feelings]
[(his mother died, and he was left alone. one time, he made him a cake for a shitty birthday. he was smart and proactive and above all, unafraid)]
[there's enough for both columns (lie now, then force the issue; lie now, then don't), and that in itself tells him what to do]
Fine.
