[That's a dangerous attitude in this place. Yuu is the same, running around and yelling that he'll be an experiment, that he'll do whatever it takes to help. Guren stares at Dextera for a moment as he pushes open the door to one of the rooms, gesturing for him to go inside. It's pretty much exactly like the room Kureto was just in.

But as he steps inside after him and lets the door close, Guren is distracted by a red bracelet on the end of the bed. Dextera's. The one he had given to Guren. He moves over towards it, picking it up and running his fingers over it. This was not there before.]

If you want to stay with me, you need to listen to me above anyone else. Us being separated temporarily will be better than us getting separated for more than that. I'm used to things, and I know what I'm doing.

[He turns, offering the bracelet out to Dextera with a small frown.]

I'm going to have to give this back to you. But listen to me, Dex. You can't say anything even close to what you know about Shinya and the others. They will turn to dust if they so much as catch on that something is off.

Follow my lead in conversations. Don't offer up information if I don't offer it up first. If they confront you privately... [Ugh, that's a whole process he'd have to go through, actually. Kureto could easily arrange for that, too, when Dextera is more calmed down in Guren's presence. He could bother them both at once, it would be efficient— damn it.

He just hopes he's too preoccupied with everything else. Maybe that possession of his will help him lean into his trust a little bit more.]

We'll work on it.
