[finalguard]

What are you going to do with the information if I tell you?

[backspacing]

Keep it in mind, and see what I can do.

[Look she's not the final boss, she's a mid-boss at most.]

[finalguard]

[ Boa hesitates here. ]

You're not going to tell your bosses about any of this, are you?

[ He doesn't trust her, but she seems to be at least a little on their side... meanwhile, her bosses seem likely to just torture people more simply because they can. ]

[backspacing]

What, and have a repeat of Saturday?

[She says that bitterly. If you're trying to turn her against her bosses, you guys are going in the right direction.]

[finalguard]

Exactly, that's what I was afraid of.

[ He pulls a face. That he didn't care much about Natsume or Kon doesn't mean he found it any fun how things turned out here. ]

Okay, so... Mitsuru needs to go back without any time loss after all of this.

[backspacing]

Oh.

He and I already spoke about that.

[finalguard]

[ Boa breathes out slowly. ]

... okay. Okay, that's good.

[ He thinks anyway. ]

Will you see to it then?

[backspacing]

I will give you the same answer I gave him: time is different between worlds. It is relatively simple to go into the same world twice at the exact same moment.

[finalguard]

[ Now Boa seems actually relieved. Tension disappears from his shoulders a little. ]

... that's one problem less then.

[backspacing]

[Aww baby.]

It's very sweet of you to care so much for him, though.

[finalguard]

It would just be a stupid way to die after surviving this.

[ And Mitsuru is definitely surviving this, fuck the odds. ]

[backspacing]

It would be yes.

But you don't have to worry about it. It will be taken care of.

[finalguard]

Thank you, Red.

[ The nicest thing he ever said to her, probably. ]

[backspacing]

[It really is.]

You're welcome.

Feel free to come to me with any problems, alright?

[finalguard]

If there's something we can't handle alone, yes.

[ He pretty clearly thinks all regular problems should be things you can handle alone, but... hey? He's not blowing her off for now. ]

[backspacing]

[PROGRESS!]
