Some people need to be protected more than others! My partner needs to be protected, he's useless in a fight!
[kaoru hitachiin found dead in gatonina]
And even if your partner doesn't want to be protected - that doesn't mean it removes the feelings of always wanting to be there for them! That's true for me and Kara too... Both can exist.
We broke into Black Shadows's cabin. Found out they're keepin' the bodies of the people who've died here in some kinda... blood pool. Wei-han said he's pretty sure it's to preserve 'em, keep their bodies from rotting while the Directors stall for time.
[ he nods, both as an acknowledgement and an affirmative. ]
Sorta...the stuff we found ended up bein' Shadows-han's journals. We didn't take 'em, 'cause it already felt bad enough as is readin' them. But they and the other two have been here for a while, and... a lotta evidence points to them bein' people from the old games, too.
I think - if they trust you enough, they're starting to remove their costumes.
That's what I meant when I spoke on Tuesday - when talking about the origins of this place, and their origins. They told me that I can't reveal everything about them, but others should try to get to know them if they can.
Heh... good to know a handful of us have gotten to that point with 'em. Though we'd probably get punished for sharin' anything more personal 'bout them to each other, but I'm hopin' I win over Heart-han soon.
[ beat, perhaps several ]
Would ya say you trust me enough after these past couple weeks?
Oh... [she looks surprised] .... thanks. For trusting me.
[she really does sound taken aback by it.]
... well, the three of us are trying to learn as much about powers and everything as we can - so that in cases of like today, we can get a lot of the wondering out of the way. It was really annoying that no one knew Yu's power a few weeks ago.
So... I can't share my power with you, but I think if I ask one of them, they could share their power so you don't feel like it's an uneven trade.
[she tries really hard to be fair, even though she's also like
Oh, if that's the only thing yer worried about, don't even sweat it. I don't want ya to force 'em or anything just 'cause I spilled my beans. 'Sides, you've been doin' plenty gatherin' info and shit in the first place. Feels like an even enough deal for me, so just take it, all right?

So I can't say anything in detail but... yeah.
You're right.

I - ugh. I can't tell you next week because I'm trying to make up for everyone who told me this week...

I might be able to get Ash or Kara to tell you in exchange until then but...

Then... can I ask? What your power is, what the name is, and what items you received in the past few weeks for winning?
I can share with you all that I know in exchange.
