[THEY'RE BOTH SO FUCKING OBNOXIOUS IN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WAYS. See: Scaramouche scoffing at this very well-meaning gesture like it disgusts him, because it does for many reasons.]
It's mostly for their own sake than for ours, anyway. Some of them just hate losing, and others want to be able to free themselves from the guilt they might otherwise feel for leaving us behind by doing something where they can then tell themselves that at least they gave it a try.
[The cynicism... BUT ALSO HE FEELS LIKE HE'S CORRECT.]
[THE CYNICISM... BUT LIKE... Childe isn't gonna say he's wrong. He believes, more than Scaramouche does, that there are a handful of people among them who do genuinely want to free them all--but he also believes that Scaramouche is generally correct, and that, as he'd said earlier, no one is going to want it badly enough to risk their own freedom. At least, not anyone who wasn't already planning on staying.]
Mm. They proved that much at the end of that last trial. [When no one wanted to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth of Harrow's words.]

There are a lot of things that they proved at the end of that trial.

[GOD. Well if nothing else, it's true that they're an entertaining clown show.
But anyway--]
Are you going to go bother Ryo?

Anyway, he's just arching a brow at that.]
I already went to talk to him, how else would I have known what he was jailed for?

But that makes him laugh, because of course it does. It's fine... Lavi's fine...]
Haha, fair enough!

You've reminded me, though - I owe someone something. If you visit Ryo again, tell him I said hello.

[And he will do that!! And also I'm ending this thread so we can be free since it's endgame]
