Ugh, it's always handcuffs!

Someone come and get me out of these things; Blurr slapped some kind of cuffs on me and I can't even move now.

What a pain!

Right, we don't know anything, I just...

[Gunmax eventually gives a frustrated noise, because he knows he can't fight Deckerd on this. Maybe it was stupid and impulsive, sure. And Gunmax hasn't acted this way since they first met, even.]

...I would have taken responsibility. I can work by myself when I have to, you know!

[Ha ha, no. He really can't.]

[patokichi]

You are a part of a team, Gunmax. It means we all take the fall together if one of us does.

... but it also means you're not alone. You never will be as long as I'm around.

Please don't throw that away because of someone trying to work everyone into a panic. We've dealt with people like this before. As long as we stick together, we'll all be okay.

[engrishdetective]

...Damn it, Deckerd.

[He sighs, almost a bit miserably. No. He's not alone. Not anymore, he knows that, he just. Kind of couldn't help his reaction, bad as that is.]

Don't make a promise you can't keep, okay? What if you disappear like Breakdown?

[patokichi]

I can only promise I'll do my absolute best, Gunmax.

[engrishdetective]

...Deckerd.

[Damn it. He has no good way of saying that he's sort of terrified of losing you too.]

Fine, whatever.

[patokichi]

Now, if nobody has come to collect you, I will. Otherwise I want to talk to you in person when you are able.

[engrishdetective]

Feh... McCrane's getting me. I'll see you soon enough.

[patokichi]

Good. See you, Gunmax.

[engrishdetective]

Yep.
