( partners in crime? it's enough to make komaeda laugh, it seems his own sins continue to catch up with him no matter what he does — though, that's not a problem to him. as long as it was for hope, he doesn't mind what type of crime it was they could have committed. )

I wonder... if I asked you to give your body and soul to me, and do every little task I say, would you promise that?

( to be honest, komaeda doesn't know how deep their friendship goes, or if roku~n is saying these things because of the advantage that he has. mostly everyone here is transfers with not much memory going for them, and he can reference to yesterday with izumi and chiaki. )

You'll be a stepping stone for hope, it's perfect!
