[... It's sound logic, and Sanji can't say he wasn't already planning on searching out Shadow's team. It's like they were saying before -- the teams are becoming too uneven.]
Fine. I'll ... narrow my search and look for Shadow's team specifically.
[His expression is even again, albeit slightly paler]
You're right about one thing -- we gotta find whoever is working for Shadow. When I talked to Heart, they were impressed you and I found each other so quick, so I'm thinking all three of us collaborating might benefit the game as a whole.
[same page? same page!! but Akira has definitely not missed the tension in Sanji's shoulders, and how it evaporates when Akira insists that (if such a role exists) they protect their designated weekly killer]

[he says that quickly. and, after a moment's pause, he speaks again, voice low]
And if I'm right about the nature of the role-- and I hope that I'm not-- then. . .
I feel like that's someone worth protecting since the entire camp is going to be out for their blood.

[Relaxing slightly. Not by much, but enough that his shoulders don't feel like they'll pop off his body from tension alone.]
No one wants to be put in that shitty position. So it's better we keep an eye on 'em, if we can.

Are you okay?

[Whether an obtuse move or a calculated one, Sanji disregards the emotional aspect of that question and glances down at himself]
Yeah, that shit's fine. Probably need to change the bandages but I'll do it later.

That's not what I was asking about.
[but. . .]
But I"ll accept it for now. Just make sure those bandages don't get too dirty.
