[ Endo begins in a whisper, a clear threat in his tone — one that he has never used with Umemiya before. But as soon as he says that first word, he cuts himself off, because nothing warrants any statement that would follow. Umemiya isn't doing anything at all. There's nothing to warn him off of.
And he has no plan. Sure, he could probably come up with something, but anything he thinks of would be insulting to Takiishi or offensive to Umemiya. And Endo doesn't want either of those things.
It's no big deal, on paper. Takiishi doesn't have expectations for Endo. He does like Umemiya, and that's a little fucked up on Endo's part, but that's not the part that's really messed up.
Endo had his own rules about this kind of thing. Respecting their space. Respecting Takiishi. Keeping people away, and always putting him first.
He made a stupid, selfish decision, all because he didn't want to be alone.
It's too late to take it back, so Endo opens the door and while he keeps his body language loose and easy enough, there's a subdued quality to it all the same. ]
Hey.
[ He says this to Takiishi. He hasn't given Umemiya instructions at all. In fact, he hasn't even looked at him. ]
