I've confirmed five others on my team, two on the blue team, and only one for purple... [ which judging by akira's admission means that they're not on the same. frustrating but helpful all the same. ] Someone my team will come to talk to you about what team you're on. I just don't know when though.
[ hopefully?? that will help??? giyuu doesn't want to play it any closer than that. his wound hasn't even begun to heal. ]
Yes, which doesn't help but if we can find out who all is on my team, we can narrow things down.
You won't have to worry—she's lively. I asked her to help me find others given how easy it is for her to get along with others.
[ is...this a good enough hint? it should narrow things down for akira, hopefully. there are only so many girls in camp. but hm. the problem of how much they can make public knowledge... ]
No, but...at least we can have an understanding of who is on what team. If enough of us know about some people then it will be helpful over nothing.
[ he pauses for a moment and thinks. he's definitely not together enough for all of this but he wants to make use of every second that they have. ]
Perhaps there can be another way to spread the information without being explicitly clear as well.
[a few more blinks, and Akira lets out an amused huff. yep, that is pretty telling. . . not only do they not have many girls, not many of them are lively enough to get along with others. he has a few guesses in mind, but. . . he'll wait until she approaches]
Mmm. . . maybe.
Or maybe this is one big trust exercise.
[and everyone has to start taking others at their word without the explanations behind it]
[ now there's a concept, and not one he'll throw out right away even though he has done nothing but try to prove (to certain people) that he is nothing short of trustworthy. ]
[ giyuu won't respond right away. if anything he's going to take some time to really think about that. it doesn't sound bad in theory but... to make it happen? how would they get to the point where they could make that happen?
they only have so much time, right? hmm. his left hand will drift towards his right sleeve before he nods with his answer. ]
We can try it. There will be those who resist, but I'll support you.
[ admittedly, he'd be one of those who would resist it but he already lost an arm doing it his way... ]
[he still remembers the arguments and lectures he got after he and Lili tried to protect Dick that second week, lol. he knows that people here are so paranoid and jumpy that they won't believe someone just because they say something is unrelated to the murder]
. . . but-- thanks.
If you can trust me, then I'll trust you, Giyuu. Especially after what you did for us.
[risking his life, losing his arm, all to give them the information they needed to narrow down the suspect pool]
[ giyuu definitely checked out to that given his curse from the day before, but he was aware enough of it. things were definitely heated... ]
I will. [ despite how tired and in pain he is, he will be resolute in his answer and look at akira dead on. ] You're honest and as are your actions—I hope that there won't be a time where I'll be given any reason to doubt it.
[ what will become of him if he's made to doubt it? well, time will tell but he doesn't want to think about that. there are already too many things up in the air to doubt. ]
Let me know what I can do to help with this.
[ sure he just lost an arm, but there's a week's worth of work that lays before them. ]

[he looks surprised at that?? but he settles quickly and nods]
I'll be ready for them, then.
. . . and even if we can find everyone on your team, there's still the matter of not being able to out them in public.

Trust exercise?
[ now there's a concept, and not one he'll throw out right away even though he has done nothing but try to prove (to certain people) that he is nothing short of trustworthy. ]
no subject
. . . there's so little we can say without consequences, right?
[he says that quietly, expression pensive]
So maybe we do have to get to the point of being able to throw out answers without the explanations behind them in order to succeed.

[and that is an honest response, though his gaze does flicker towards Giyuu's poor (missing) arm]
For now, I think the best thing you can do is get some rest, though.
[gentle fussing time!]
