There's nothing we can do to help our situation. Ah. . . please, wait a minute. I'd like to ask Dragon-san a question.

[folding_cranes]

Yes... There's not much purpose in thinking of what will happen to us. But if we can protect someone that needs it...

[anyway I guess I'll wait for your response]

[lackspresence]

[ .. s-sighs ]

If we were able to send even one message, we could establish a system. . . .

Who is it that you want to protect?

[folding_cranes]

If I had to make a snap decision, I would probably choose Iris.

But what's more important is how best to make that protection count. I would rather protect a team that truly needs it than one that is already covered.

[lackspresence]

From the little I know, Cardinal doesn't seem to have a very good reputation at the moment. I don't know if anyone would want to protect them.

[folding_cranes]

...And you would?

[lackspresence]

. . . There's a different team that I have in mind.

[folding_cranes]

...

But you feel they'll be taken care of anyway? Why else would you not try to stand up for them?

[lackspresence]

I don't know if they will or not. I don't think they're on the bad side of any teams, but. . . [ but the string game. the string game. ]

[ . . . also I didn't mention Canary because Apple already knows '-' ]

[folding_cranes]

[but still!!]

There's a difference between having an enemy and having a protector.

[lackspresence]

There are some who consider Cardinal to be a protector.

[folding_cranes]

There are?

[ i glances at apple ]

. . . . I understand that Cardinal houses a person who is from Apple-san's world. If the last game is any indication, they likely avoid choosing to attack us because of Apple-san. [ can you hear the self-loathing in my voice ]

[folding_cranes]

[yes...]

I...see. But you would rather not pay that...kindness...back.
