[look, this would be all well and fine if neku knew who josh was. unfortunately i wanted to be Difficult.
so playing fair has never been part of joshua's philosophy, even back during the reaper's game, neku notes. in a way, he can respect that—instead of helplessly playing by the rules and being at the hosts' whims, why not attempt to smash the cycle altogether? it's a very cat thing to do.
maybe they could have more than just acquaintance by association in common after all.]
Didn't strike me as the kind of person who plays by the rules, anyway. (And given that the rules straight up mean killing other people AND playing a murder mystery game...)
[he takes a second more of hesitation, but he's honestly made up his mind already. he just doesn't want to come off as eager, because he's anything but. if anything, it's for survival.]
Fine. Deal. Just don't expect me to automatically get involved in every crazy scheme you come up with. I get to choose what I do and what I don't, got it?
