[Is there a way Xie Lian can help? Maybe. But it all goes back to a controversial question Rin has been struggling with since yesterday.]

If someone kills a person who is important to you, do you have the right to kill them in turn?

[It's related to what Xie Lian is asking, honest.]

[yueshen]

[ i see.

... ]

No. [ point blank. ] I don't think you do.

[ the questions are rhetorical, but this is something he feels pretty strongly about. ] Does killing that other person bring your person back? Does it solve anything, to cause more violence?

[aono]

It doesn't, no. And that's what I've been thinking too. But if things go bad today, then do we have a right to intervene?

[He's not thinking of himself midtrialing here. He's definitely thinking of a specific someone else.]

[yueshen]

[ ... ]

Yes.

[ because yeah. he knows exactly what rin is saying. ]

I was asked to look after Mr. Joonghyuk by Mr. Dokja this week in case he disappeared on another adventure. That was not the case [ can you believe how hard i was deathflagged ] - but I intend to fulfill my promise.

I will keep him from acting rashly no matter what. I won't allow any more blood to be shed than already was, or what will be Sunday. No more.

[NINE HOURS LATER...but Rin is nodding.]

Yeah, okay. We can intervene if it gets bad.

[It feels easier to say when someone agrees with him.]
