[. . . okay, okay, Ryuji saved himself]

I don't know if what I'm doing is "brave."

[Anna made him an offer he couldn't refuse. that's the extent of it thus far!]

But I am doing what I think is right for my situation.

[ it's what he does!! ]

Haha, when you say it like that, you make it sound like you're here for some important reason or whatever.

[blinks]

It's because I am.

[ ...? ]

... Huh?

[ isn't this a dating show for teenagers ]

[oh BOY]

I think a lot of people are here for the wish, too. That's not why I'm here, but I can understand why people may have ambitions beyond finding someone they. . . click with.

[ HE LOOKS... EVEN MORE CONFUSED??? ]

Wait, wait, wait. Then why are you here?

. . . you've heard of the Crown Theocracy's Tournament for the Throne, right? I'm a candidate.

[EVERONE has heard of the tournament. . . right? right?? because they're in Euchronia. right???]

I'm here to gain popularity to become the United Kingdom's next king.

[ looooooooong pause. ]

Dude, what the eff are you talking about?

[oh my god. well, Anna didn't know about the contest either, so I guess. he'll just. stick to the basics]

I'm trying to gain popularity to become king.

[he repeats with a firm nod. hopefully that is easily understood??]

[ just — ]

Japan doesn't have a king though.

[ wait. ]

Orrrr this is that other worlds shit again. Other realities. Freggin' other realities. You're gonna be a king in another reality? That's crazy.

[other worlds?? other realities??? help he has no idea what any of that means]

I want to be the king of the United Kingdom of Euchronia. Whether it's. . . "another reality" or not doesn't matter.

It's my home, and I want to build it a better future.

[ COME ON, MAN. at least follow him on the journey of this is another reality!! ]

It is, 'cuz Maomao doesn't know what a video game is. [ ok ryuji ]

But, yeah, okay. I guess you got kings where you're from. And you wanna be one. Ain't you a little... I dunno, I never seen a king so short and young? Aren't kings adults?

[god if only Ryuji was the only one who said things like that to Will--]

Age doesn't make a good ruler.

[ rubbing his chin a little. he guesses so. ]

Yeah. I just think about like, politicians and they're mostly bad but the good ones are still adults. 'Cause like, us teenagers still have a life to lead before we become that, ya know?

[. . . . . . . l. lmao]

. . . I believe things must be very different where you come from.

[but he says that with a wistful smile. boy, does he wish the teenagers of his world had the luxury of thinking that way]
