... wow, way to miss the point. That's NOT what I meant. I know you wouldn't. The only one who DOESN'T know that is Tyki.
What I'm saying is, how is Axel supposed to feel that you two are having a CONTEST OVER HIM? Even if you know and I know and he would know that you wouldn't make a move. I mean, come on. "Winner gets Axel"? You don't think that'd piss him off even a little?
That's the thing, Tatsuki, it's not even a real contest. If he doesn't find out, then whatever. If he does, then it'll be easy enough to tell him that I was just teasing Tyki. Do you really think I would have proposed that kind of thing if I thought Axel would care?
[A long pause, and pen taps.] Nope. But .. I feel like he would, at least a little. It's still like.. betraying his trust a little, isn't it?[Crossed out after a pause.] I think Tyki's going to try and explain it to him eventually though.
Look. This may be a big joke for YOU, but if/when Axel finds out you two invented a contest over "getting" him, I KNOW he'll be pissed. ESPECIALLY since you see it as some silly joke where you're screwing around with Tyki's feelings. I DON'T think Axel will be too happy about that.
I'm sure Axel will understand. I'm not screwing with his feelings, I'm trying to get him to admit them. If you have a problem with that, then ... well ... whatever.
.. yeah? What makes you so sure? You're trying to get him to admit to it by SCREWING with him! Tyki really believes you! I can't think of a better way to piss Axel off, seriously.
Look, I have a problem with it, but what you do is up to you. I'm just saying, I can't believe you don't get this. It's going to come back to bite you hard.
Normally I'd say fine but this isn't just between you and him, now. It's gonna affect someone else, too.
... Ino, you .. you're not okay. Look, before this gets worse.. you might wanna think of a way to say sorry? I dunno, just .. I just get this feeling it isn't going to end well. It might be something.

I don't. Want him, I mean.

{Tatsuki}
I get exactly what you're trying to say, Tatsuki. {transcribed sigh, long pause} I just ... don't care anymore.
[Ino]
... [Pen taps.] .. even if it means Axel could end up being seriously pissed at you?
{Tatsuki}
... I don't know. {transcribed weird-sounding laugh} I don't know.
I don'tThis is all so stupid.[Ino]
... Ino, you .. you're not okay. Look, before this gets worse.. you might wanna think of a way to say sorry? I dunno, just .. I just get this feeling it isn't going to end well. It might be something.
{Tatsuki}
I hate this.{still semi-legible}No. I'll apologize to Axel if he gets mad at me later, but otherwise, forget it.

It's your funeral.
