...Nothing any of you can give.

[he needs to live. he needs to be able to actually-- hold beau one more time before he dies, after they've spent every night together. it's going to hurt her to be separated on the last night they have. he needs to be anywhere but here.

none of that is possible.]

[slobjection]

Fair enough. Our deal is still in play, if you were having any doubts. And I'll take care of her.

[ no matter what, he will make sure she makes it until the end. ]

[unanswering]

-please do. If I can't be there for her...

[he doesn't like the thought, he really doesn't. they survived the mansion together. separating now is...]

Just keep Asch away from her, if you can. If he bothers trying, after earlier. I don't trust him, after pointing out something that could have gotten her suspected.

[slobjection]

I doubt even he will try to bother her after all that, but if he does, I'll shut it down.

[ because that was so much and asch is just wildly destructive and self-destructive. ]

[unanswering]

I doubt it as well, but he's not very bright.

[he is an asch anti, unfortunately.]

...Majima is all right. Wei Wuxian is too.

... He seems determined to burn every bridge he can.

[ mess. ]

Yeah, think I'm fond of both of them. Good company, at the least.

I can't say that I really care why he does it, or if he secretly wants people to be close to him, or whatever his problem might be. Beau cared, but she'll get caught in that too if she lets him come back.

[and the last thing she needs in her life is more people who are kind of a mess.]

Just- make sure she stays alive. Whatever happens. One of us needs to win, and it's all right if it's you too, but...

[much as he'd like to see her again, he doesn't really want to under those circumstances.]

I would do anything to make sure she stayed alive, were things not like this. If I can't, I need to know... someone will.

[ phoenix lets that bit about asch rest --- honestly, whatever his motivations, he's self-destructing. and taking anyone he can with him, including beau. ]

[ there's no fence for him to even try mending it. better if they avoid each other.... for both of their sakes. ]

It's unlikely to be me-- I've already accepted that. But I will make sure she makes it until the end of this to the best of my ability, no matter what I have to do.

[ if that gives him any comfort. ]
