[ hi jail adlet!! ]

Sooooo...was getting caught always part of your plan, or...?

[querencias]

...not if I could help it? But I was pretty screwed anyway.

[foreverphantom]

Were you screwed before, or after the whole "murdering with a weapon that everyone knows is uniquely yours" thing?

Just asking.

[querencias]

Before.

[ hey he had logic there, maybe. ]

...Hans being dead basically means my world is gonna be destroyed. I can't get more screwed than that.

[foreverphantom]

Oh yeah? How do you figure that?

[querencias]

It's kinda a long story, but basically we're the only ones—us and the other four Braves at home, who can defeat the Evil God. I'm not just saying that cause I'm the strongest man in the world or anything.

The crests we have [ he holds up his right hand to show Danny ] let us survive in the land where the Fiends live. Anyone else who tried would die within seconds.

[foreverphantom]

...is it really just called the "Evil God"?

So without Hans, even if you managed to get home, you wouldn't have the manpower needed to win. So you had nothing to lose by killing.

...you also didn't really have anything to gain.

[querencias]

Yeah, it doesn't have a name.

[ ... ]

Probably not. But there was a small chance that by killing someone I could speed this up faster. Get home sooner, see what I could do.

...it probably didn't matter, but if there was just the smallest chance....

I had to take it. And— [ quietly. ]

You can't just sweep the past behind you. It still happened. Hans didn't deserve to die last week.

[foreverphantom]

[ wow maybe your world-level threat should get a cooler name ]

...maybe not. But I don't think anyone wasn't already well aware of that.

[querencias]

There was at least one person who told me that last weekend. That we should just "move forward" and focus on what would happen not what did.

[foreverphantom]

[ HELP I JUST NOTICED THE NAME CHANGE ]

...mmm. Well, I guess I can't judge your response to that too harshly.

Just your method.

[querencias]

[ He does this multiple times in canon he needs help. ]

Thanks, I think.

...I really wish it wound up easier to focus on whoever killed Jane. [ her name is Janeway adlet smh ]

[foreverphantom]

So that no one would catch onto you?

Well, congrats, you ensured all our focus would be directly on you instead.

[querencias]

I didn't know Saya would find the needle marks. I hit her with two, actually.

[ so that half worked. ]

...and I didn't know the phone would mention the King Card either.

[foreverphantom]

[ nods ] I'd say you live and learn, but...that's not really gonna be true for you, is it?

[querencias]

The strongest man in the world has always gotta try, no matter what.

[ There's not particularly a lot of gusto, but his catchphrase is here all the same. Stubbornly, delusionally, it's all he has left to hold onto.

...maybe it's all he's ever had. ]

[foreverphantom]

You know, the more you say it, the less anyone believes you.

Sounds more like you're trying to convince yourself than anyone else.

[querencias]

I'm used to everyone not believing me. [ Honestly people buying into it here is kinda weird. ]

...and I never said it wasn't.
