If they decide to betray, then the rest of the teams will know they aren't to be trusted.

[Not that he's saying he super trusts them not to, but if they're practical they can at least see why it would be a bad idea.]

[cloudalike]

Yes, we have far more important trials to come as group if we are to escape this situation. We should not throw away our honor so easily to avoid minor injuries.

[ But it helps that he knows Xingqiu can handle injuries as well as he can. ]

[unsinksyourship]

There's no honor in getting eaten by those crazy traps, you know that, right?!

[Tamamori just shakes his head like, honor?? Dignity?! He has adjacent concepts (occasionally) but they do not quite apply here.]

So... it's peer pressure? We're going to trust in peer pressure?

[That's not what they said but it's fine.]

[cloudalike]

Peer pressure? Oh no, this is a discussion. You're free to state your case.

[unsinksyourship]

Not on me, on them! We’re talking about them!!

[If he’s more scattered than usual it’s because A. He’s more nervous and glancing around at their setup than before, though he’s doing his best to play it off, B. These shindigs(!) are too early in the morning and C. His player is hungry and cannot word.]

[cloudalike]

I... trust them, not the peer pressure. I trust that our relationships are more important than... [ Whatever this is?? ]

[unsinksyourship]

Trusting people too much is a great way to get your lunch stolen! And your things thrown in rivers! And your drinks switched out with glue!! Humanity's darkness is deep -- and creative, too.

[He says this pompously somehow???? What's with all these hyperspecific examples.]

[teidaisei]

[ Let it be known he is just smiling Wickedly here, completely innocent as a newborn babe~ ]

[unsinksyourship]

[HE CAN SENSE THAT EVEN WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT, YOU KNAVE. YOU DEMON.]

[undertakings]

[Honor... honestly means very little to him because plenty of people don't play by any rules but their own, but he does agree with needing to work together here.]

I'll admit that I didn't think they'd use these sorts of traps though. If someone's left too injured to move, would that basically count as forfeiting your team's turn?

[So auto-betrayal or something...]
