[ It's sorta what he expects Rei to say; he might have been trying to keep that secret in the first place, but now that it's out it ain't like he'll just up and run, right? The truth is that he probably could have made his out even in this place, if he wanted to. Yet, waiting like that, it'll just have to be this way— ]
Rosho...?
[ Sasara's head whips around to him. After breaking down, all but falling to his knees and admitting not just his own secrecy but his helplessness in the matter, after finding Rosho ready to knock Rei's lights out, he doesn't expect to find any mercy on his partner's end. ]
What're you saying!? [ The words just burst out after pause and silence. More than offended, Sasara's stunned, his response a reflex. ] You really...
[ The truth is, Sasara didn't confide in Rosho only for his partner to shoulder that burden, once again, of splitting them up. When he'd confessed that he needed help, he still thought it'd be to do something just like that. However, relying on someone else, it doesn't mean having them make your choices for you, but making their own; doing something that you couldn't have.
Sasara thought it was over. His words, unsaid, bob in his throat. ] You really think so? [ "And thats all that matters to me. Getting to the top." He's sorta in awe. That's why it takes him another moment longer to look back at Rei again. ]
Old man, there's no forgetting what ya said– [ But— ] —still, I had my part in it. Some things, they better stay secret, [ A quiet admission. Maybe this is about Ichiro, too. It's just... to say that in front of Rosho; not without the next part, though, anyway. ] but, ya don't always know about that 'til it's out. Like Rosho said, [ Trusting won't be easy now. Between all three of them, though. ] it ain't just us, you too.
Rei... [ Mhm. ] If ya got some score to settle with Chuuo-ku, I don't suppose you'll be able to pull it off on your own.
