I don't imagine that he did. [ Mahito certainly wasn't someone that went out of his way to endear himself to people in any way. ] It's not a kindness, but she was certainly someone that essentially offered herself up to be the perfect victim for a more apathetic killer to target, no matter how unintentional it was. Agreeable, and vulnerable.
[ the way he says it, regretful while still blunt, he doesn't put any blame on her - but she would be appealing prey to a predator looking for an easy kill. ]
... I wish I could say, Meg. But with so few of us left, it needs to be soon.
Well, we already knew that someone out there loves an easy target.
[ whether mahito is the only one is... still to be determined. who even knows anymore. ]
Either it ends soon, or it keeps going until we're all dead. [ like she and yuri talked about... it's not a reassuring thought at all. ] I just... want to make sure you and Sunshine make it back now.
[ there's a humorless laugh at that, but it dies off when she keeps going. without hesitating, he turns his head and buries his nose in her hair, curling his arm a little tighter around her where they're nestled together. ]
All three of us, Meg. I want to see you get out of here with your life in your hands again. [ and he means it, especially with the reminder of just how they're not living, here - they're surviving. ]
[ he crinkles his nose a little, but where she can't see, and it's more about her trading one pantheon for another. ]
I'm not surprised. Our gods aren't any better than yours, in my opinion, but you'd still be welcomed by the two of us if you wanted to come. I think you'd like Zhongguo itself.
I imagine most gods are just more of the same no matter where they come from. But - you'll have to tell me about it sometime. She seems to have forgotten that part.

She invited me to come back with you, you know.

And maybe we can go to the simulation room.
