[Yeah, that's a concept he's familiar enough with even aside from the competition he participated in as a god. He's quietly thinking that over, trying to piece everything together based on what he knows about Taka and Senri.]

So that means you can earn and lose favor at any given time...do the points only stop once you've reached graduation? Or do they stop before then? I feel like that sort of system has its own flaw if you have a less than agreeable personality...

[This is his way of caring, basically.]

They choose a new winner at the end of each year, so you have three chances. So in theory, you can win more than once.

[ ... but he nods, frowning ]

And yeah. I think that might be one of the reasons why they pair you off with someone. In theory, whatever you might lack, your partner could potentially make up for.

In theory. [That still sounds flawed, but at the same time...] I suppose that makes sense. The Host Club wouldn't have launched without my own partner, and now it's one of our best investments.

You don't really know much about your partner before you're placed together, do you? What happens if something happens to your partner?

You'd have to be given a new partner, but that might take time since it'd mean accepting someone new into the special class. The student council president didn't have a partner for the start of the year until Yuni transferred in.

[ but it didn't matter to kumarin considering he was fuckin abroad during that time so ]

But if it's just something like you wanting a new partner or wanting to transfer to the other dorm, they don't normally just accept that unless you have a really good reason. Senri really wants to be in white dorm, so before he kept trying to get transferred over there.

[ he stopped actively trying after they returned to the temple even if he still thinks white dorm is better ]

I think I remember that. The two different dorms, and definitely the moments in which he didn't get along with you. [Despite everything that happened, he knows it's better that the two of them ended up the way they did. He could trust them to look after one another, and yet it was difficult sometimes to think about it for too long.

So he doesn't.]

The campus is bigger than I imagined it to be when he told me about it. How many are in the special class? [How many people is he potentially going to run into if he wanders on his own?]

[ he makes a slight Face at the mention of them not getting along, except he can't comment on it because it's... well, true. even now they still argue, even if it's not as bad as it was before.

still. ]

There's eighteen of us in total, nine in each dorm. So just a pretty small part of the student body.

[ when he said it's pretty hard to get into the special class he meant it

...[...wait.] But nine is an uneven number. Doesn't that mean there's someone without a partner in each dorm?

[ yea no i, francy, can't count. this is why i don't play smart characters.

there's a pause as he is going over what he said ]

Eight in each.

[...Tamaki just sort of accepts this, nodding and closing his eyes for a moment.] Numbers can be quite difficult to keep track of, I understand. Even so, that's even more competitive than our game.

[...] The two of you are happy here, yes? [He means at the school and everything, in the new life, but he's also maybe fishing because he's a dumbass.]

[ tamaki why do you do this

but taka will consider the question. ]

... there's a lot of things here that are stupid. I'd rather not deal with it.

[ that's the answer to the general question. but to the one that tamaki isn't quite asking outright, ]

But we're happy.

[It happens when you're a dumb twink who's still trying to take care of everyone he even remotely has positive feelings for. A hand curls under his chin, thoughtful expression still apparent even as his eyes drift over the campus and his legs are leading him...somewhere he doesn't even consciously know. It's likely someone's dorm, but that doesn't stop him.]

That's the most important news. [There's a short nod.] Though we were able to see everything you could do in the temple, here, across the multiverse, it's a bit harder to keep track. And the balance and what you take forward after your time with us not only impacts your world but ours as well.

Yours? Really?

[ he figured that while at the temple, their actions and relationships would obviously have a lot of influence on the gods but

he didn't really think about after they left. ]

Of course. You didn't really think everything was over the moment your left, did you? [He sounds surprised that Taka didn't realize it.] That's how history is created, Takaomi-kun. When people share their experiences it leaves room to create new cultures and new experiences. Everything we have ever learned or seen from all of you has powered us to make us a bit stronger and clarify our visions for the world going forward.

[ that makes sense, considering making sure they have enough power to be able to create a world was a Thing during the game

but ]

I hope you're not taking lessons from all of us.

If you mean people such as Luna-san and Catra-san? Absolutely not! [NO!!] Though Chloe and Catra learned quite a bit from one another, so in a way perhaps some lessons are better than others.

That's one relationship that sounds horrifying.

[ and taka will never know just how bad it was ha ha ]

Mm...while I wasn't privy to everything that the others did with the contestants that joined us, I can imagine it enough. They say that great minds think alike, but that does nothing to put me at ease.

[But he's grinning lightly so like. It's maybe fine.] There were others that had an influence on her as well and made Ambition a little more humbled. I don't believe it was the effort of any one person for any of us.

I know the nosy rabbit was friends with her.

[ considering she got all EMO when she thought he betrayed her ]

[A considerable pause....]

There weren't many people Senri wasn't friends with, were there? That was perhaps part of the problem.

[ ah... he snorts. ]

Probably. It seems exhausting.

Perhaps so, and yet there are several benefits to knowing everyone around you. [He's looking at a point far off like he's thinking about something.] Connections among your peers are sometimes even more powerful than those from a higher standing.

[ taka, who took several weeks to admit he made friends in plasma: no ]

... you guys keep saying that.

Not all of us. [He sounds amused.] Do you really still disagree?

[ he doesn't answer right away

but you can tell from his expression that he doesn't really disagree that much but he also doesn't want to say that out loud

it's a struggle ]

[...there's a thin smile.]

You can agree with me and still dislike me, you realize. That doesn't change anything.

[Is he still assuming he and Taka are on shaky terms? Of course. And yet he's trying anyway.]
