He’s trying to play every side and it’s not working anymore.” T_T Neko throws it like it is. “There has been some internal shuffling in his ranks: Carol ‘YUNG-P’ Sung and Vivienne Neuville, the two flame users who helped the pervert and the lousy detective during the assault, have officially joined forces with him as their own separate group within the corporation. This new group prompted other forces inside the faction to demand the same treatment and form their own internal alliances, and one of these wants K out of the picture. He spread out his power too much, and left no core of people to protect him.”
“Wouldn’t the newest group with the former cultists have the duty to protect him? I can’t see a scenario where it favors you to forge an alliance that immediately dismantles.” Nariko ponders.
“I don’t see them winning.” Neko shrugs. “But it’s better for us, with the final flame group down, we’d be the strongest. And we’ll be safe.”
“I thought some of you were friends with him. He gave Johnny like a billion dollars or something.” Yu Yan finds this odd. “He did try to take away his crystal piece though…”
“<span class="mu-i">Friends</span> is a strong word. It’s like me with you guys, we have a good association for everyone involved, it doesn’t mean more than that.” Susie doesn’t understand why friendship is important.
“Susie, we’re friends.” Nina is unamused.
“Ngh, h-how can I know you’re not emotionally manipulating me with those words right now, hmm?!” Neko won’t ever let her guard down.
“Susie, I’ve done things for you I’d never do for someone who wasn’t my friend. And you <span class="mu-s">know</span> you don’t want me to go into specifics.” Nina is living with a trauma she’ll never get over.
“Let your guard down, four-eyes. It’s better than to live in fear.” Yu Yan the wise solemnly preaches.
“You threatened to kill me, you freakin’ prick!” Neko will never forget.
“Only once.” Yu Yan shrugs. The school teacher has so many questions right now. “Let’s be fair, who hasn’t?”
“Ngggh… Fine, I’ll try… just don’t hurt me.” Susie doesn’t know what she wants.
“As long as you behave.” Nariko is going to be strict.
“Please, Susie, continue.” Nina wants the conversation to move forwards.
