Your argument isn’t my business and I’m not messaging you to butt in — just if you’re going to get into shit with Sanada-san before a quarterfinal match, at least screen it. Your kouhai brought you with him for support — do better.


DM TO SANADA-SAN
Your argument isn’t any of my business, but Akaya should not have to see that from his senpai before a quarterfinal match. Do you understand the screening function? If not, I will send you screenshots. Learn it.


TEXT TO AKAYA
You’re getting electric guitar for this match — any requests?

[The word thanks make his fingers stumble a bit, the sounds standing out slightly from his tune.]

...If you tell anyone, I will air your tekken secrets.

[akaya barely restrains a giggle at the obvious falter. typical.]

There's no secrets if everyone already thinks I suck. But don't worry, this stays between us.

Re: [call]

[xyzai]

Good. [Zaizen says, recovering from the super rude but actually sort of nice thanks] Now go terrorize some Americans.

[He means on the court but Akaya can interpret this however he pleases]

[knuckling]

You got it. [if this had been a video call, he's have saluted.] I expect that music video in my messages by 7pm sharp.

[Satisfied, Zaizen drawls]

I always deliver -- so make it good.

[call]

[knuckling]

Have a little faith, man.

[he stands, ready to now figure out where he is and how to get back to the appropriate floor.]

Gotta find my damn room now.

Re: [call]

[xyzai]

Yeah, good luck with that [he says at a good natured drawl] See you on TV

[hangs up]

[call]

[knuckling]

Yeah. Talk to you later.

[as zaizen hangs up, akaya finds that he is actually on the fourth floor. he goes to the elevator instead of taking the stairs this time.]
