They were assisting me, though I mainly cooked it myself. The terrain would change… The first round had monsters, which Lup Lastname chose to deal with it by summoning dragons. Your round a road appeared and separated the cooking station.
[ He’s not going to mention the stab to his heart it seems like. ]
After those two rounds, I had to choose between someone and my hostage—it was like this for Lup Lastname and Kocho Shinobu as well. We had to make a choice.
[ So it screwed up his sense of fantasy and reality. It would have been so much easier if they were fighting each other.
He knows Dokja would never kill Mia, would never pitch to sacrifice her.
It made it so much harder to choose. ]
I’ve seen my sister die many times before, so it wasn’t unfamiliar to me. I’ve also been able to save her twice—she would grow up to be happy. [ … ] Kim Dokja. He hasn’t been saved once.
He hasn’t been happy before, but he created a world for me… Where I didn’t need to sacrifice anyone.
[ So in the end, he chose the world. Closing his eyes tightly, he repeats this more to himself than anything. Despite all these words, it’s obvious that he’s… Lost? Hurt? Angry. To have failed again. ]
I trust that Mia will be safe. I have to believe she is.
[Hm. He does not like these things on Joonghyuk anymore than he'd like these very real, vulnerable things on Bruce. And maybe it's because they always seem so... unaffected, detached enough to be logical and put together even if they aren't.
And knowing they aren't means not a single person is invincible, meaning he has no one stable enough to use as some kind of role model. Is he using Bruce and Joonghyuk as role models? NO.
Anyhow, it's apparent he doesn't judge Joonghyuk for the choice.]
She is. But we're running out of time to figure out how to turn things on its head to make sure it stays that way.
[ Everyone is flawed, Jason. Also, Bruce is rich so maybe that’s something? It’s an uncomfortable place to be when Joonghyuk is so used to solitude and only his misery keeping him company, at least for another moment of silence. Whatever vulnerability is gone, tossed into the fire of rage. ]
I’m ready to run my sword through the Nightman.
[ Is said with more venom than usual, with more bite and heart. It almost sounds blinded, but he calms himself down. ]

Joonghyuk, every once in a while, helps tighten the bandages. ]
I didn't receive a chance. We had to cook you something spicy.
no subject
Normally, he'd fight Joonghyuk about helping, but it's fine. He will let the man help tighten them.]
Spicy, huh? What, they think I couldn't handle spice because I'm white? Wait--"we"?

[ So this is why he’s mad? ]
Lup Lastname and Kocho Shinobu were there with me.
no subject
His eyes glance up briefly, then down again.]
You were all cooking, or do you just mean they were there?
no subject
[ A sigh. ]

[ Claw rake… Motorcycle accident. ]
no subject
Sounds like Lup. [Who just SUMMONS DRAGONS to deal with monsters.] Oh--
[He peers at the road rash. I See.]
You really should have just killed me and saved yourself the trouble.

Kim and your sister.
[He says this so fucking easily and casually. He doesn't look up from what he's doing.]
Why did Lup have a gun shot wound?
no subject
Hm. ]
Her trial used Russian roulette.
no subject
Great. [He's thinking about a particular door in regards to this and Lup, but it's fine.] She's had practice.
[A bad joke.]
So who did you pick?

Lup Lastname showed you the tape?
no subject
The last person to ever tell Joonghyuk this is too much anger is Jason, so he doesn’t. Sorry.]
I can get behind the Nightman stabbing. [He nods his head.] Yeah, she did.
What do you think?

HOLE??? ]
