   â.. not so bad, is it.â  now that sho has his head on straight, ragna crosses his arms.. heâs mentioned celica and thatâs a key player to making them both less anxious. if she catches them both fighting each other, sheâs going to be sorely disappointed in them both. the reaper is almost sure that sho isnât looking for something like that as he seems to know her more than he realizes.. with a small sigh, he allows the scarred youth to continue .. so heâs talking about hazama .. or rather, terumi.
     HE ISNâT sure how to explain, nor does he want to shove his trust into shoâs hands. hardly knowing him makes it difficult, and as much as heâd like to trust celicaâs judgement of character⊠she isnât the best model for taking word for people and their intentions. after all, she tries to find the good in every persona.. he canât just blindly accept it for what it is and at first glance.Â
   âThereâs two of those guys in the city, one of them is Hazama.. the guy you mentioned. The other oneâs Terumi. Long, orange coat, same hair color but it stands up, yâknow? Heâs the loud one. Youâll be able to tell the difference at a glance.â  even after mentioning this, he canât exactly believe it himself.. two of them in the city, separated and able to make their own individual choices in two separate bodies.. that means twice the trouble and more than itâs worth. they can overpower him with little to no effort together. after all, heâs just one person. glancing down at his right arm briefly, ragna narrows his eyes at the next part of the inquiry. heterochromatic eyes rove over to meet shoâs in a more serious light than previously.  â.. I canât just tell you, I gotta know why youâre on a need-to-know basis. Itâs gotten me into a lot of shit I didnât wanna be part of⊠so? Whatâs the reason, Sho? Why do you want to know about this âdarknessâ youâre feeling?â
âTwo of them? Well Iâve only ever seen the one to start with, but Iâll keep an eye out.â
Two potential enemies to be concerned about? Just great. As though it wasnât difficult already to keep his nose clean in this place, now more problems showed up on his horizon. From what he knew as well, there were already conflicts with Hazama elsewhere, but this other guy, Terumi, was surprisingly off his radar so far. Considering Ragna had referred to him as the âLoudâ one, there had to be something amiss if he had heard more of the other. Then again, this was also mostly due to Shoâs ties to Roman Torchwick, which was another story..
Even the irritable youth knew that he couldnât really argue with Ragnaâs inquiry, for he would likely do the same thing. It brought Sho back to the point of why he sought the white-haired male in the first place; Celica. He didnât even know what they were at this point, whether or not they were even friends at this point, or if he was even worth being a friend to anymore. Yet, even with that dread hanging over his head, he knew what the answer was, and he couldnât deny it, aloud or to himself.
âBecause I need to know if they could - or have - hurt Celica. Iâm not gonna allow that, no matter what the cost.â
