Oh, yeah.

[ ... ]

Well. Sort of. We kind of actually had to kill people.

[ oh, yikes. ]

Was your condition similar to the village's?

We had three teams, too, and everyone had titles and powers like we do here.

But we had to get each team down to three people by the end. If any team went below those numbers, we were screwed.

Did the hosts say anything about winners taking all?

[ she shakes her head ]

There were some other differences with how ours was set up that’s not in place here.

There was no way it was going to be that easy.

[ because of course. he swallows a sigh. ]

What if there isn't a way for everyone to win, after all?

There will be. Just because we haven't found an answer yet, doesn't mean it's not there.

Our condition was to keep our numbers up . . . What if it's too late by the time we find the answer?

... we just have to be prepared for anything so it won't ever be too late.

How are you going to do that?

[ whatever she does to prepare herself, he'd like to know. ]

Well...

[ hm ]

I think for now, keeping a close eye on our numbers.

[ wow, just thinking about doing that makes him anxious. ]

Is that really going to help?

We need to at least make sure a team doesn't get entirely wiped out.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't know how we can stop that from happening.

I think communication is more important than ever.

I don't know where to even begin with that.

Talking to each other!

So it just goes back to telling each other our teams, huh?

Not even just that, I think...

It's a competition, but in the end we're all working towards the same goal.

I've never been in a competition like this before. I don't know what I can do—if there's anything at all.

Just try your best, Zenitsu.

It's all any of us can do. Our best.

[ his shoulders slump forward. ]

Yeah.

I believe in you fully.

[ he reddens and perks up almost immediately. ]

I don't know why you would, but I'll try my best!

[ she nods. ]

I will, too. So if we're both doing our best, it'll work out.
