[ he continues thinking on this because honestly, he'd rather not have katerina up in their shit. their strength right now is having an ally who works for this game, that's why despite everything, rhys still feels vaguely safe. miata giving that up freaks him out to the core and that makes the possibility of his own death a very real thing. ]

The truth then. Use it as a weapon. You don't approve of her methods. Embellish your connection with Urashima -- and with that reaction earlier, you won't have to -- say that it was the last straw and say that, I don't know, I came to you privately -- don't include the other moles -- about what's gonna happen next. You were pretty upset then, spilled some things, I suggested swapping our roles to freak her out.

I just -- [ he pauses here and looks visibly upset for a moment. ] I don't... trust this game without someone here working for it, on our side. If she's the only one in charge, what happens to everyone left? I-I can't, I don't... know what'll happen. I want all of us to live, dude. How's it gonna work out for any of us if suddenly we're down one ally and the only one we've got left is the psycho with all the power?
