As harsh as it is to say... I think we should ensure you remain alive for as long as possible, even... at the expense of someone we may want to protect who isn't related to any roles.
[It does look like it earnest pains him to admit this. He isn't some holy man walking on green earth, but he unfortunately has emotions.]
[ yeah. xie lian grimaces. he hates it, too. don't worry. ]
I also had known my role could pass to someone else, so I have always put my life on the line. I am unafraid of death, especially to protect others.
But... now, it is about my entire team - and my team Leader, who will not be in the castle this upcoming week. He is in serious danger, and I do think that our team is the one that is the most likely to be completely eliminated. With that in mind, I cannot die. I cannot let either of my remaining teammates die, either.
[ gods!!!! just let him get killed for his team jfc!!! can this not be easy!!!!!!!!! ]
...This week... I made my decision, as I always do, on Monday. But when I attempted to use the power to lock in my choice for Thursday - it wouldn't work. Neither my Leader nor I could figure out why. We tried multiple times, and he let me know that splintering nova couldn't have been the issue.
[there are- people he would prefer to see alive, and he's going to have his work cut out for him to restrain others if certain people die. but in the end, if they can just ensure revival...
well, the ends have always justified the means, for emet-selch.
xie lian's explanation is highly concerning, though, and both brows raise at that.]
It simply failed? Were you not able to use it on another, then-- do you think it may be related to the danger your team is in? If a Leader loses power on Thursday nights...
[like, it's actually good that xie lian can't sacrifice his own ass if that's the case? but that's also concerning.]

Which is to say, I agree.

I chose to protect Miss Hikaru.

I was able to protect someone else. Just not her. I am thinking perhaps that even if I had chosen Miss Alyssa, it would have worked.
...I think it is a case specific to Miss Hikaru, but neither of us could figure out why.

[He doesn't like the sound of it, not in concerns to try to protect people, but he also isn't sure if it's a one time deal.]
We can check into it. At most, keep it in mind.
