[ Stares at him, and,
huffs a laugh?
It's not an amused sound, but Ray really caught him by surprise. ]
Yeah. Guess I'm not the only person you've seen make that mistake, huh?

Nope, Zoe did it too. By the way, did you use an ability on me this week?

[he shrugs.]
I've been thinking about love a lot lately, and a few people said it might be someone else's doing—possibly trying to help out the god.
So I was wondering if it was you.
[he sounds very nonchalant about all this.]

[ As always, Yu is a tough guy to read. Mostly he just kind of considers Ray, thoughtful, almost like he can't decide if he should be amused or not. ]
Well, that begs the question: why me?
Well, that begs the question: why me?
Because if Love benefits, so do you—or am I wrong?
[ His brow furrows. ]
What makes you think Love is my god?

You can relax. I don't mind Love, even if they're a little naive.
And it depends on if you've been lying to other people about your alignment or not.

I've only told one person, [ he muses thoughtfully. ] Do multiple people really know?
I haven't gone around asking people about your alignment, so I wouldn't know.
Who did you hear this from? [ with some small concern. ]
[he's quiet for a while, before he sighs.]
Madoka.
Madoka.
[ Yu takes a deep breath in and out, forcing himself to relax slightly. ]
Thank you for being honest with me. In return, I'll tell you the truth. Yes, Love is my god, and I am the person who used Hopelessly Devoted on you this week.
[ A beat, and with a very faint smile: ]
Sorry.

Sorry.
Don't hold it against her—actually do, because even I thought it was reckless. But she gave me all the alignments she knew in the name of working together.
[... goddamnit yu]
Jerk. [though he doesn't sound too mad, just annoyed.] Why me?

[ A smile flickers across her face. ] I'm not angry. I will talk to her, though.
[ Yu considers that. ] ... first, I want to be clear I don't want to force anyone to switch. That's why I used my power the way I did. I wanted you to consider the idea, and come to a conclusion as to what to do on your own. As for why I picked you...
[ ...
he'll smile, a little. ]
You don't have a guess?

Well, my first guess was that you thought it was funny. People have been looking at me like I grew two heads, so thanks for that.
[ :/ ]
[ :/ ]
[ Yu actually laughs. ]
No, not at all. [ ... more seriously: ] I don't really like the idea of influencing others' thoughts. I certainly wouldn't do it for a joke.
I chose you because you're a logical person. I had faith you'd think it through. And, if you did decide to switch... [ thoughtfully. ] You'd stand a chance of convincing others.

I'm not exactly the most charismatic person, so you definitely chose the wrong guy. Should've picked Senri instead.
[ Yu just ... looks at him, like he isn't quite sure what to make of the other boy.
In the end he'll shake his head. ]
... you have me at a pretty significant disadvantage. [ this is said quietly, and without color. ] You know my god, and you know my power, in a week where Love has become the definitive forerunner. Anyone with designs on advancing by kill will be targeting us this week.

You're not wrong. And sorry, but as unfair as it is, I don't know you well enough that I'm willing to return the favour out of pure goodwill.
All I'll say is that my god would be pretty unhappy if I killed you for something like that—that, and it'd be pretty dumb of me to go after someone with a mind-controlling ability, like how it was Itachi's misstep to target someone with Blame Game.

... for me, if Kaname-san trusts you, that's enough. My life and my god are in your hands, Ray-san. I hope we can work together.

Likewise... but are you really using Madoka as the standard here? I know she's not stupid, but she does like to see the best in people...
[ A soft smile. ]
I believe Kaname-san understands the brutal nature of this game, maybe better than most. I don't think she'd shy away from difficult decisions, if they needed to be made. That's why I trust her. I know she'll take care of everyone as best she can.
