I mean, it's more like if we don't work together, we're all definitely screwed, since cooperation always seems to be the secret purpose behind these things.
[ the rest of the game can burn. goodbye. but he complies, for once. ]
... In any case, there doesn't seem to be any "secret purpose" here at all. The way those guys talk makes it sound like this is entirely accidental. [ Hikage shakes his head. ] ... At this point, it's more than just "bad luck." We might be cursed.
[ why is his life like this... maybe this is punishment from the "thing" that gave him his powers in the first place. ]
And we made it work last time because we had others' help. You're dooming us all already if you're only looking at the three of us.
[anyway. he shrugs.]
If we're cursed, then so is everyone here. Or, given the nature of alternate timelines and universes, it's possible that more people than you can imagine, in some life, go through these, in which case it's more like average luck.
[ he won't comment on that. he is willing to use the others as much as he needs to to help save himself, his sister, and these two. that's about as far as his concern stretches at the moment. ]
I wasn't being serious, Belph.
[ even hikage can joke sometimes... belph's spending too much time around him, clearly. ]
[ he's a pragmatist, yes, but his concern can override his practicality once in a while if he thinks someone he cares about is injured - he wasn't exactly paying attention to Dazai at that moment... ]
It doesn't matter if it was severe or not... I'm not so callous I'd immediately dismiss you because you weren't dying or that kid was trying to be efficient. If you want someone to blame for that, blame yourself.
[ friendship has made him soft and more open to his emotions... ]

We'll probably never know, in any case.

You're so annoying.

[belph does try very, very hard to be annoying.]
I'm pretty sure you were always a nag at heart, though? Wasn't it on your last profile?

Why do you remember that??
