[ Kohaku nods and steps inside without waiting for formal invitation. ]
Yeah, with the way things are going...
[ "Things" is pretty vague, but that, too, has its purpose. "Things" is bigger than just the trial - it might very well encompass the whole universe they are in right now. If they are in any universe. The way the resort works is still kind of unclear to Kohaku. ]
Maybe. The Lady said there'll be a trial, and she's acting so weird that I've been kind of wondering if there really will be the usual one. So it's been kind of hard to think of what to do before tommrow's come, but...
[ ...funny thing is usually he'd have some idea of what he'd want to do. Even the last trial, he'd caught onto Owain's frame early, so he tried to see about pointing it out in the way he best could. ]
I'm actually thinking that we might want to prepare ourselves for anything strange happening. And I don't mean just preparing ourselves mentally?
[ The blond will close the door and then head over to sit on his bed. ]
[ Smiling at that, because if there is one thing Kohaku knows how to do, it's fight. Fight the simple physical fight, not all these mind-games they have to play now. Dishonesty like that is a luxury that Kohaku never really wanted to be able to afford. ]
Though if we just gotta execute someone like usual, it's going to get ugly out there. We have a chance to win the game now, but I fear most people wouldn't be okay with that.
Being prepared like that in case will help, I think.
[ Roxas isn't too good with deception either, though he's...become so used to it back in his time in Organization XIII that it really isn't as unfamiliar as it should be. ]
...you're definitely talking about Cinque, aren't you?
[ The blond knows he's going to have a hard time tomorrow. But, he'd be lying if he didn't expect this day to come. He still likes Cinque too, however he kind of has assumed people would vote for her, and if there's a way to properly exorcise the other ghost while keeping Cinque alive, then...
It's better than just ending up with her dead completely, right? He needs to look at this realistically...look at what this game has done to him. ]
If you are, I think it'll get ugly for a bit, sure, but...then if the vote happens like it normally does and we can't do anything about it, everyone will realize that they'll have to choose someone. And...I think the choice will become obvious then.
We've had the idea going around that winning this game of mafia isn't our real objective, but we don't have any proper proof of that, do we? Wasting our chance at the goal on a hunch seems like a dumb move.
[ He doesn't personally like Cinque at all, but that's genuinely not his main issue here. He wants to get out, he's found people who motivate him to fight for that... so simply letting goodwill lessen their chances at that is unthinkable. ]
...I think stopping the mafia game is one of the things we should be doing, since we're going to need it to in order to get out of this place. It's just as important as getting the Outsider out of the brain because they're kind of connected, so really they're equally important, no matter what anyone says.
[ So to him, doing something about the game is important, even if it isn't their ultimate goal. It's...kind of the reason why people are dying, after all. ]
We'll see how stuff happens tomorrow, I guess.
[ Except they don't got 20 minutes to figure out how to exorcise the Doppelganger so that's definitely a foregone conclusion--a problem for future Roxas, future Kohaku and future rest of the people stuck in the Resort. ]

You got any idea what you wanna do with tomorrow?
