[filtered to 999 cast minus ace and june]
So, I doubt you guys noticed the newest addition to our little group here-aka Gentarou fucking Hongou. You also might've figured out that he doesn't know who Zero is.
-Or didn't, anyway. Akane told him, so you don't need to worry about that elephant in the room now. But that's not what I want to talk about. Thing is, he doesn't know what we know. And because of this, Akane's planning on lying to him, since he has no way of disproving it. Doesn't really involve you guys for the most part, but obviously, we need you guys to keep up the lie for this to work.
[And here, he notably sounds displeased, because he's not entirely fond of this plan-or, specifically, June's reasons for it.]
And the lie here is that I died. She knows I didn't, I know I didn't, and you all know that I didn't-but he doesn't. In short, she thinks it'll protect me, and I promised her I'd go along with it, so there you go. You guys don't even need to say anything. Just don't say that we all lived.
[He's silent for a moment, before he sighs.]
... Listen: I know we don't have the right to ask anything from you guys, but please-for Akane's sake, could you just play along?
[...]
That's all.

[For anyone in Cherrygrove, they might notice him as he slumps against the building wall he's leaning against, before ultimately moving down to sit on the curb.
Now that that's done with, he allows himself to actually look as exhausted as he feels for once, because goddamnit, this is turning out to be one hell of a week-and not in a good way.]
