[ There is nothing even remotely cheerful in Sasuke's expression as the video clicks on. Far from it. Please, stop watching while you can. ]

I think Sadiq Adnan is attractive. As a male, he is adequate.

That's all.

[ And it clicks off. Helpful hint? A bet has gone awry. ]

That's certainly a word you like.

I wouldn't go that far.

A man without nakama has nothing, a man with nakama knows they're worth more than the whole world itself.

Perhaps you'll find some who can weather out the war with you then, eh?

[ ... ]

I won't say that being around me is safe, but that's something that I would like.

Nakama get to take take that risk onto themselves as their own choice. That's what being nakama is.

Ah, those that choose to support my goal... I don't see them giving up soon. They also have things to accomplish. [ Okay, so it might be a relationship of convenience but that's pretty good for Sasuke. ]

That's how most nakama start off I think. So long as you all support each other.

[Hell. Even Blackbeard's new crew is like that :| Stupid fuckers he loathes :| :| :|]

Right now it is convenient for all of us. I won't ask or expect more of them than that.

I hope it works out in the long term too then, eh.

As long as we succeed. That's all that's important right now.

Aye. Focus on that. I'm sure you'll make it.

[Or at least he'll keep doubt free about it.]

[ ... ]

You shouldn't go so far for my sake. Taking your time for a conversation like this.

How I spend my time is my choice, eh.

You'd be hard-pressed to stop me even if I'm bugging the hell out of you. Maybe especially then.

Informing you that it might be a waste of your time in the long run is a way to free myself from responsibility. [ Forever blunt. ]

[Laughs.]

Rest assured, you never need feel responsible for my headaches. If someone ticks me off but I keep trying to deal with them, that's on me. And usually, I'm just not that nice to. And in any case, if you didn't interest me, I definitely wouldn't bother this often.

Perhaps it's just that you're used to a much more dynamic world so you need ways to amuse yourself. Being here could cause a person to go stir-crazy if they're accustomed to that.

Yes, well now you know my secret.

I've been stir-crazy here for the last year and a half solid.

There are many others here that have that sort of difficulty. I would expect it from you.

I almost feel bad, eh. It's easy to take it for granted how hard it is to survive the New World, so even with the monsters here...

[A shrug.] I usually find ways to keep busy, but it can feel a little haunting. 1600 voices short, and shadows purposely imitating the past.

Usually moving forward and keeping occupied is all that you can do. Not in a way that causes you to forget the past. Just in a way that allows you to survive without being swallowed.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Usually a little light comes along to remind you that there's something other than the darkness out there, but I believe I've found that here too, eh.

In that we differ. I prefer to keep my eyes closed.

Why? If I may ask.

Because there are things that exist in the light and things that exist in the dark. My goals fall into the latter.

Even in darkness, your own light can remain Sasuke.

I'd prefer not to see what's around me.
