[Hitoya's thinking along the same lines as Jyushi and it brings up something else that's been on his mind for a long while. Ever since Kuko first dragged them together and insisted they form a team.]
You and I? We both have our reasons for joining Kuko and entering the division rap battles. You're doing it to prove your strength and I have an old score to settle. But what about Kuko? What's in it for him?
[It's not exactly the sort of thing one throws themselves within to without any thought... not even someone as chaotic as Kuko.]
[That's a good question and when Jyushi earnestly tries to think of an answer, he can't find one.]
I...never really thought of it that way. He's very aggressive so something like this seemed like something he'd want to do. But usually he does have some reason, doesn't he?
[Even if it doesn't seem like it. But there's always some underlying reason for the things he does.]
[Very aggressive was certainly an understatement but he won't hold it against Jyushi who always thinks the best of others by default and certainly not now when he's so wrapped up in his concern for what Kuko would think about their present circumstances. But it isn't just a broad understatement...]
Thinking back on it, he's been very aggressive about this. All the more reason there's gotta be something to it, don't you think?
[And Hitoya would put money down that they've landed on it.]
That's another really good point. [Not something that ever stood out to Jyushi, who hadn't known Kuko as long as Hitoya. But also Hitoya tended to notice finer details like this about people in general so it wasn't surprising.]
So do you think this is about Ichiro-san? Or maybe something to do with him, at least? [It seems like that is probably it.]
There's only two people that can really answer that. Fortunately, one of them is here...
[Unfortunately, it's not the one they should be asking but that's just a luxury they don't have here in Avalon. He's really starting to sound like a broken record, already bracing for Jyushi to push back.]
Which leads us back to what I've been saying all along.
