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.

[ steph will carry 99% of their joint effort. ]

Yes, ma'am!

[ he gets a shoulder pat ]
