The real question is if that's ever going to change. Like...the longer we're here, will we ever be able to regain control over stuff. That sort of thing.
If anything, it feels more like we've lost little by little. But the optimists would say that we still have enough to keep going and turn stuff around.
[ there's like. a weird little blip of fondness when he says that. ]
Oh no, it's not. It's just about balancing it out. They keep trying and pushing for better, and you're there to keep things realistic and help keep moving when things get in the way. It's just about also making sure those people don't get too beat down and won't be able to handle it.
Yeah, well. [ yeah he has no excuse for that. ] Alex is stubborn about the stuff she feels strongly about. And she feels pretty strongly about finding a way to save as many people as possible to get out of here.
It sort of worked out that way on complete accident. [ which is funny. ] Alex and I were always going to stay together, and Setsu and Kazuki had agreed to work together before they even approached us. Or we approached them? I don't really remember now since we'd all sort of planned on it. I think we need that balance though. [ there's a flicker of uncertainty despite that. ]
No. Not really. [ ... ] Things are fine, we're just working out some misunderstandings still. Nothing major. Better off than some other teams, I think.
I agree. [ but some people are self-sacrificial and some people are spiteful. it's too easy, even if he won't say it out loud. ] Let's keep the possibility off the table in any case.

Do you feel like we've regained much so far?

It’s not a bad thing. Having people around that keep trying and trying even when you’d step back and say there’s no point.

Alex is kinda like that.
As in, she chewed me out when she thought I was “giving up” and not going to keep looking for a way out of this.

[ come to think of it. ]
Your team’s pretty well balanced between the optimists and the realists.

Trouble in paradise?

Probably. If a team's good at hiding it, there could be real conflict there we don't know about.
