[He snickers at that, an equally unpleasant sound. It probably shouldn't be amusing, but it is, even if he really wouldn't have expected anything less of Katsura. Of course he would think it was like that—he had never expected Katsura to understand. But even if his assumption is exactly what he would have expected it to be from the start, Takasugi still can't help but laugh about it.]

I didn't work this hard to just sit back and watch while someone else steals the show.

[He felt— unsatisfied. The idea that their world might be gone should be a good thing, and in a way, it was, but... he felt unsatisfied. And he could only assume it was because he wasn't directly responsible for it, because someone had once again stolen away one of the few things he really cared deeply about (even if it was in an entirely different way). Zura was just too— good to understand that sort of thing, though.]

I don't like this place any more than the last one.

[Maybe it's not just their world that's shitty, but the entire universe. And other universes, too.]
