Similar. So what changed?

[baori]

[ he'll lower his head and look to the side. ]

I was corrupted and couldn't tell. I didn't knowingly leave any hints to lead up to my discovery but killing me ended the curse.

[unfriendliest]

Ours didn't knowingly leave hints. It's just how it worked out.

[ . . . ]

Killing you, specifically? There wasn't a certain number or anything else needed?

[baori]

[ well you know, sometime you just get lucky and that's all you need to be. ]

The alternative was for eleven people to be sacrificed to the ritual.

[ which...almost was what happened. ]

Doing that wouldn't have broken the curse, however.

[unfriendliest]

[ oh. bad. ]

...Would you have still been corrupted when you left, if they hadn't killed you?

[baori]

Exactly.

All of the dead, new and old, would have still been trapped on the island.

[ so, you know, giyuu has a huge "fuck you get bent" mood towards the island. ]

[unfriendliest]

Then it sounds like you got lucky.

[ he died, kara ]

It would make things easier if we only had one target.

[baori]

[ giyuu would consider it lucky? maybe.

actually the whole island experience was terrible. ]

There's a chance that this place might have a single threat.

[ since they're just so sure things are gonna go to shit here anyway. what is having trust in these guys after what they've been through? ]

[unfriendliest]

Then if that turns out to be true, the goal will be finding them... and if they were corrupted, too.

[ after a moment, he shakes his head. ]

We don't know enough to assume that yet.

[baori]

No, we don't.

[ it's frustrating to go from a position where he knew basically everything to knowing next to nothing. it's frustrating but he prefers it this way. ]

[unfriendliest]

If it's anything like before, we'll know come Saturday.

[ but god, that doesn't sit well with him at all. waiting has never been his strong suit. ]
