[Pulling his knee up to his chest just in case anyway!!! But yeah, of course he knew that. But;]
Again, I don't think that's especially remarkable. I don't think anyone was happy to have someone wrongfully convicted. And he's not the only one who didn't vote for me. I had two people tell me they didn't because they assumed I would have killed them first. [What a thing to say. Still, He's the one who singled Anaido out.]
-- Yeah, but you're not visiting those other shits.
[Doxxing the brackets. Sanji is giving Ogata such a side-eye before:]
Do you just not wanna admit you two are friends...?
[He's actually trying to logic his way through this, why Ogata was so damned stubborn in refusing to admit who he wanted to see in the first place. Is it because he has specific information only Anaido can know? Is it because Ogata's the world's nastiest yandere?]
[Ogata makes a face. Thinks about Things. About Conversations.]
... It's not that simple. Did you see Black Shadows on Sunday before the directors switched? That man was on the island with us. He's.... someone special to Anaido.
[He won't elaborate on why this is relevant because he refuses to say it out loud but Sanji is free to draw his own conclusions as Ogata picks up one of the cereal boxes he didn't knock onto the floor and starts inspecting it closely.]
How the hell does that factor into you two being friends? Anaido is allowed to have more than--
[And it's at this point that Sanji stops talking, his expression caught up in a squint. You wanna know how many memories he saw of their fellow campers pining after other people? Way too fuckin many.
And that's exactly why he reconsiders what Ogata says -- heck, even pulls back and remembers a certain redhead who is sleeping soundly in a place Sanji can't get to, and how he'd feel if that smug bastard was overtly friendly with other people.
[SANJI THIS ISN'T HELPFUL. That said, Ogata seems to consider this for a moment. Maybe he really shouldn't see Anaido.... but... for some reason, he wants to? He can't explain it. He really wants to see Anaido. Or rather, be seen by Anaido. Obviously he's been seeing Anaido this whole time. But right now he's mad. That's why it's next week.]
Yes. I need to make him suffer for what he's done. [Just when you thought Ogata was sympathetic, he has to go say shit like this.]
That's not what I meant. If I was mad about that, I could have sent him a letter about it weeks ago. It's natural I was rejected, being the way I am. [Ah, classic Ogata.]
[YELPS IN SURPRISE. And he actually tries to squirm out of his grasp this time because he's regained some stamina. Unfortunately, Sanji is still stronger than him]
[He honestly considers fleeing over the top of the shelf but remembers how much effort it took to get this high. So he frowns but eventually;]
Doesn't it seem strange to you for him to have become so friendly with the woman who killed me, if he actually cared? [He's jealous. Of a platonic friendship the guy who turned him down has.]
[Ogata folds his arms across his chest. Gingerly. he has injuries on his chest as well as his stomach.]
I don't know what you expect me to say. [Because he's certainly not going to say "You're right, Sanji, I was being irrational and will stop now." Sanji probably knows this deep down.]
Say? I don't expect anything on that shitty front.
But I do expect you to not waste time on a grudge that's gonna go nowhere.
[Sure, they're Ogata's letters, he can do what he wants, but Sanji has a game to keep into consideration. For better or worse, he's positioned himself at the other's babysitter (within tolerance)]
What are you looking for, anyway? Beau-chan to freak out? Anaido to feel remorse? Or to just hate you like you think everyone's gonna.

He likes everyone. It doesn't mean that much.
no subject
[Sanji doesn't think it's much of a secret, which is why the pirate just happily doxxes that information, assuming Ogata knows it already.
Another pause, and then Sanji finally lets Ogata's leg go. If he needs to chase him down again, it's not like the other can outrun him]
Fine, fine. So you got someone worth visiting. So long as your shitty ass uses it, I've got no complaints.

[HMMMM. This is. Messier than he expected.]
I'm assuming Anaido doesn't know.
no subject
He does know. I only know about him and Wen Ning because he told me after.
[After Ogata what? Confessed? Best to not know the details.]
no subject
Why are you a clusterfuck of issues shambling around unsupervised]
A-are you sure you wanna go see him next week?
[The fact there is some legitimate concern in his voice now]
no subject
Yes. I need to make him suffer for what he's done.
[Just when you thought Ogata was sympathetic, he has to go say shit like this.]
no subject
[Wow that sympathy dissolved FAST and now Sanji has whiplash from glowering in exasperation.
He's not even surprised.
Just so fuckin tired.]
You're pissed off because you got rejected? Join the club, it happens all the time!
no subject
That's not what I meant. If I was mad about that, I could have sent him a letter about it weeks ago. It's natural I was rejected, being the way I am.
[Ah, classic Ogata.]
I just don't like how he's behaving lately.
no subject
Well. Sanji doesn't really like to do things in halves, so...]
Explain.
[Guess he's playing therapist to a psycho cat]
no subject
[Sanji when have you ever had a normal conversation with Ogata?]
no subject
grabs his fuckin foot again
and starts slowly pulling Ogata closer]
Explain, shithead.

Fine! Let go of my leg and I'll tell you!
[GOD]

Be grateful I'm trying really hard not to yell at you right now.
no subject
You're the one who forced me to tell you.
no subject
[And goddamn does Sanji try to be patient, and firm, and a little more pleasant than Ogata probably deserves, but--]
Beau-chan didn't want to be put in that position in the first place, right? And your ass knows that. Anaido knows it, too, I bet.
Besides, he's not the blindingly loyal type, so what reason has he got to be mad at her rather than this shitty camp?
[Sanji knows love is blind and jealousy is green, but this is... not gonna help Ogata.]
no subject
I don't know what you expect me to say.

no subject
[Because he is. Just all the time, constantly.
He sighs and lets his head fall to rest on his knees.]
If they'd just hated me in the first place like everyone else none of this would be a problem.
