No, she won't really question it. She's incredibly kind-natured. [ and maybe it should feel bad to use someone like that, but Setsu does not. they're too accustomed to making use of everything and everyone around them when risks are involved. that's never changed here. but they do have those smaller connections they care for. but, to protect Jonas. to protect Alex. to protect Kazuki. they'll do whatever is necessary. ] It'll just be like last Friday again, but with more work behind us. Long as we remember the plan, we'll be okay.

[ because that's the important thing. they need to remember the plan. which Setsu is sure to enforce no matter what happens. Kazuki knows to keep an eye on all three of them for anything suspicious outside their excursions. they all know to transfer any of those extra injuries tonight elsewhere. it's going to be fine. just.. a lot of lying on Saturday, but it'll be fine. they're confident in that. ]

...No, we can't. But it's a nice thought. [ they know saying it is empty. it'll just be words. there won't actually be any guarantee behind it. even if they may wish for it themselves deep down. ] A promise to our best.

[ the exhaustion is clear as day on their face as they peer up at him, they can feel it wearily tugging themselves down. but they can push through it. just like the loops, and every week here. because they're determined to get this done for them. it's a risk to take-- and depending on what happens in Trial, may be something they face on Sunday. but... as long as they're safe, it's fine. their hand brushes some of his hair to the side, peering at the years of experience they are not familiar with. the fond and affection for him are there, but they don't say anything else. just offering him a reassuring look. ]

...After everything, I'm glad it was you. [ that's all they say. they won't elaborate on it. ]
