[ . . . he glances away a little bit at the mention of white. it's been a week.]

I think it's worth a shot, yeah. Do you know how we'd go about doing it? Is it just the wishes at the end....?

[probe]

[there's a thoughtful head tilt.]

I guess? I only know of people from home to try to escape by getting out! Or, uh, having people come in to get them! Maybe there's rules for a reason?

You have to indulge to get what you all came for, right? Just keep indulging as much as you can!

[sengokus]

[ . . . he just looks confused]

Is that really all there is to it...?

I keep wondering what's in it for the Avatars - to have to look after us, but you're stuck here with us too, right?

[probe]

Is it hard for you guys to believe we are just doing it to help you? Would you be mad if we were doing it for something?

[sengokus]

Hmm.... Not really. I think it'd just make more sense. It feels like you guys are pretty much stuck on like - I don't know. Overseer duty?

[this is a nicer way to say babysitting]

It's weirder to think that you're not getting anything out of it when you're dedicating time and energy and left your homes to be here.

[probe]

Haha! I do this all the time back home, though! Greet everyone who comes in, check them off the list! I'm use to it.

[sengokus]

But...

How come you're here then? Instead of back home.

[probe]

To help all of you guys!

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

You just felt like it?

[probe]

Why not? Yeah!

[sengokus]

[??????]

Is... that the case for all of the Avatars...?

[probe]

Ask them!

[sengokus]

[he just sighs]

I'm doing my best, but you all give pretty vague answers, you know...?

[probe]

We are also trying our best! Honest!

[sengokus]

[ . . . . he pauses for a second before he nods]

... yeah.

I believe you.

I just... can't tell if I should be trying to read further into the answers I get or not.

[he patpats mineo's head affectionately and earnestly!]

I think you're pretty smart, Mineo! You, and White, and Takeru can work together, right?

[sengokus]

[ . . . . . he leans into the touch like an idiot.]

I guess....

But that means there's something to work toward?

[probe]

[cute!! mineo gets another patpat since it seems like he enjoys it! like petting cerberus!]

Well, yeah? You guys want what you came here to get, don't you?

[sengokus]

[yea he's a fool and you can pet him and he'll accept it]

Oh - yeah! But... hmm... I guess I didn't think that we needed to work together all that much for that...

[probe]

Well, you're working for what you want, sure. You have to put in a lot of effort on your own! But you have to work with other people sometimes to indulge, right?

So it's a little circle of helping each other out!
