…I just have a feeling. And I think it would be for the best. Not to mention it would take a little heat away from you. I think I saw your clue there… [ he’s trying to hint at something but it’s difficult. ]
I am indeed one of the ones implicated in this round.
…your luck does not appear to be doing you any favors here, however. Your round of hints has it between you and that man who killed his brother. It’s a 50/50 percent chance between you two, which is the safest bet to make at the moment.
Not that I intend to say this where anyone else can hear it. I would prefer you to remain alive.
If you choose right, then only the wolf dies, but if you choose wrong… then not only do two more people die, but in the third round you’ll also finally know the wolf from the first round of clues… right?
If it’s a 50/50 gambles, then here… [ he hands him a coin. ] Heads I’m a sheep and tails I’m a wolf.
…if I do that, then more of you die, and the shitty part of that is your name being up there this round. It makes you a suspect for the third round vote. I told somebody the main reason I dragged you back here was to tell you I love you, and that’s the truth, …mostly because I’m about to do something stupid.
Actually no. I did something stupid already. I walked into this game thinking we could both make it out alive.
If you would simply lay low and stop instigating... [ He exhales. ] But that isn't in your nature, is it? Nor is the result of this coinflip, I imagine. For one supposedly so lucky, your fate is wrought with misfortune.
...
"Love" is a mere chemical in the brain, is it not? And yet... even one such as I cannot help but to fall prey to such emotions.
…it swings like a pendulum; it’s got both its ups and its downs.
Love is a feeling and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. [ he stands on his tip toes to cup ratio’s face. ] I know, and that’s why I hate this, …
[ he shuts his eyes as he falls back down onto the flats of his feet, stepping forward so he can rest his head on the doctor’s chest. ] …will you just stay here with me for a little while? I don’t really want to mingle with anybody else right now.
…it’s not. It never is. I’m already looking forward to its conclusion. A bath, a meal, and then a movie with you and the cakes… all five of us cuddling on the living room sofa. [ he moves his sunglasses to the top of his head, ] Will you call me by my name later… [ his real name. ]
[ he smiles against ratio’s chest. ] I love you so much, Veritas. I won’t have time to despair, not when I’m too busy reveling in the happiness that comes from spending my time with you.
Is it worrying because it’s new? it’s different? [ he circles his arms around ratio’s middle. ] …because the thought of losing it makes your gut wrench?
It... it's rotten luck to have been a hint in the first round. [ there's no avoiding his fate in this game. ] I know it's hard to believe, but I wanted to do better. For you.
...make a scene. If I can take all the heat away from the current round, then maybe everybody will forget you're a hint. And I asked a few to look after you. I don't want us both to blow up. [ he nuzzles into his chest. ] And I'm already looking forward to after the game.
...love you, Veritas. [ he slides his hand up his chest and to the back of his neck, fingers diving into his hair as he tugs him down into a chaste little kiss. ]
[ His hand cradles the nape of Aventurine's neck, leaning into the kiss but pulling back just enough to speak against his lips. ] ...I love you, Kakavasha.

There is a very high probability I already know what the result is, and this coinflip won't change my mind. I want you to keep yourself alive.

You should know by now that I have no issues with being "implicated" alongside you.

Nor do I. This entire farce is not worth my attention nearly as much as you are.

As long as you do not allow yourself to be consumed by despair, I'll call you whatever you want me to call you... Kakavasha.
