[He's certainly right about that... and it's reassuring to hear that Dainsleif also doesn't think it will be satisfying to find out who actually did it. To Tsukasa, it just sounds miserable.
Still... he grimaces at that, an arm looped around one knee.]
"Participate"... in this trial thing they're setting up. As if it really is some sort of performance.
[ Dainsleif knows it is unplatable to hear, but it is important nonetheless. ]
In the meanwhile, let's continue to do our best. Including, perhaps, maybe even seeing what can be done to avoid it again. Somehow, I feel even talking to others may be enough for some...but, I can't be certain.
[ Dainsleif goes quiet for a moment in deep consideration.
But, he won't coddle Tsukasa; just be honest. ]
I won't say no. Only that it is possible.
However, it is also up to us to do our part to be an example as those who do not give in. To make it clear we don't agree with what is happening. Perhaps by talking to others, continuing to refute our situation, and looking for ways out of it not by following this so-called Father's designs.
That may be the best preventive method available.
...It likely is little comfort; nonetheless, I don't believe our situation is impossible.
[Perhaps not a... huge comfort, but even so, he thinks... he'd rather hear it straight anyway. It's true. One person has died. Someone else might follow. They have to be ready for anything, and...]
We'll... prepare for the worst, while working hard to prevent it from happening! And to do that, we have to... address what the worst case scenario is.
[ Not many people are inclined towards hearing things as they are - so while it's difficult for either one of them to be in the situation they are, Dainsleif is glad that Tsukasa is at least receptive to the way he's...delivered matters. ]
Correct.
I believe it's a realistic method to address our situation, while keeping on to hope, no matter what misfortune comes our way.
Of course, I'm not expecting anyone to do this alone, which is why it has to be a multi-person effort.
[ Dainsleif is more of a loner type, honestly. But, at one point in time, he was surrounded with more, uh...trust-worthy people to coordinate things with. He can draw on that, he thinks. ]
[Naturally, it's something they all have to do together. For the first time, that's what lights a fire in Tsukasa, helps him shake off the gloom and dismay.
[ Dainsleif is...perhaps surprised. But, maybe he never anticipated he could light such a fire within the spirits of others. Though, it does bring back a certain core memory in his mind; something like that too settles him.
Of course it makes sense people wouldn't want to give up here. He hopes to see that resolve in others too; but he's glad to witness it now in Tsukasa. ]
I won't ask you to shoulder the burden of everyone. However, for those you have managed to get to know...if you see them down, shining a bright light for them will help.
And, if you feel tired yourself, look to the few who you trust, to uplift yourself again.
Lastly, when you need to act, act. Do not hesitate.
...Anything else I can think of, will likely come later. And, I will let you know at that time.
[ Dainsleif is terribly bad at placing his trust in people, but maybe he can give it a try once again. ]
[ Dainsleif watches that determination truly come alight...
Although he can't quite allow a smile on his face, the inner strength is actually rather incredible, feeling a bit familiar. He doesn't think he'll forget this. ]
...It is no trouble.
[ Yet, in a time like this, action will be needed. This inspires the blond moves to rise to his feet, and then turn his back to him. ]
In the meanwhile, I believe I should go ahead and assist with the investigation. Take as much time as you need to recharge, and allow yourself to be fueled by that resolve.
We will meet again, Tsukasa.
[ With that ... probably over-the-top parting, the blond will move to make a leave. ]
[It may be a little over-the-top, but it does speak to his little theater kid heart. Tsukasa beams at Dainsleif brilliantly, bolstered, eager to do his part.
(Eager to have something that isn't murder to think about.)]
Of course! Thank you very much, Dainsleif!
[He won't stop him from leaving, of course; Tsukasa just waves as he leaves, and has something to newly focus on.]

After all, it's part of his dream, too. If he can repurpose that dream to help here, too...
At least he won't just be dead weight here.
So he straightens further, chin lifting as he grows all the more determined. Having something "tangible" he can do... it helps.]
Right...! I will do my best, then! [At least he rebounds like a rubber band.] Thank you very much for your guidance!
