Ohhhh. Oh man, I don't even wanna know, do I?

[He can't precisely guess at it, but . . . he has an idea, at least, of what's going on now. Yikes. He looks away from Yosuke's jacked swimsuit again, lifting his hands in surrender.]

Here I thought you got it easy!

You don't! You really don't.

[ He shifts awkwardly before crossing his arms. ]

Can we just leave it at that?? I really don't wanna be talking about my ass this much...

And I don't wanna be thinking about your ass, so we're in total agreement there!

[Even knowing explicitly now that the issue involves his ass is a little more than he wanted, here!

He goes back to leaning against the wall and not looking at or thinking about any asses. But . . . there is one issue he's got to address, here. Some suspicions that are beginning to wiggle insidiously into his mind.]

. . . Lemme guess, you can't go anywhere without givin' me an eyeful, huh?

[ DING DING DING. Hit the nail on the head there, Leon.

Yosuke sighs dramatically, as if the weight on the world rests on his shoulders. Instead, it's just the world getting to see his butt. Same thing. ]

Not a step...and no offense, I don't think I really wanna be following you around, either.

[He reaches over to smack Yosuke's shoulder in the least touchy, most bro way possible. There's not going to be any lingering while they're talking about ass. Pat pat. That's all you get.]

Trust me, I ain't offended! . . . I mean, not that my ass isn't totally great, but—you know! You get me, right? Right!

[RIGHT.]

But how're you making it go into the wall like that? It's a wall! It's—

[It's . . . not as solid as it used to be. Leon was just stepping away to put his hand on it and demonstrate, but this time his hand sinks in a little, because that's what's on his mind.]

—Whoa.

[ Hey, that's cool. Yosuke speaks bro pretty fluently so he can tell a bro-touch from a boi-touch, if you know what I'm saying. (Do you? Because this is getting ridiculous.) ]

Yeah, yeah I get you. [ Bros don't rate each other's asses. They just don't. Except Yu's, maybe, but that's because they're partners. It's different okay.

When Leon tries and succeeds at becoming one with the wall, Yosuke feels very validated. ]

Yeah, see! It's complete cover!

How'd you make it do that? It was totally solid a second ago!

[He pushes his hand in deeper, until he's in up to his elbow, before pulling it back out.]

Awesome.

Right??

[ Yosuke isn't crazy! Well, a little crazy, and maybe he should just accept that everyone has to let it hang out, but...why do that when you can stick your ass in a wall? ]

It's...not super uncomfortable? And I figure that it'll provide some cover until I figure out how to get outta here.

Dude . . . you're gonna end up standing here with sand-ass for like the next six hours.

[Maybe a little crazy. Leon's both sympathetic and amused.]

...No I'm not.

[ He crosses his arms with a huff. ]

I've just got to decide what I'm gonna do next! There's...gotta be a place to get towels or something, right?

I wish I could say yeah, but CERES ain't really that nice. You've gotta just deal with it! . . . Is there, like, something wrong with your ass?

[Does he have some horrible ass disease down there?!]

Wh--no! Why would you even ask that!?

[ Actually it's a completely understandable question given how Yosuke is handling the situation. ]

I just don't want people staring at my ass all day!

'Cuz you're totally acting like it! Duh, no one wants that! . . . I guess probably some people want that, but that ain't the point! If I'm dealing with it you've gotta too!

[This isn't going to work, is it. He pauses, then tries another tactic, grinning.]

Man, just think of it as like, your payment for all the girls' asses you're gonna get to see today.

That's--

[ Well.

Hm.

Actually...uh... ]

...Uh...well...I didn't actually think of it that way.

Heh, see? I'm a genius, right?

[Also modest. He finally steps away from the wall again himself.]

Every time you catch someone starin' at your ass or whatever, remember one amazing ass you saw today and be like, "I totally came out on top here!"

[ It does seem like a decent reason in theory, but...]

...I think I've gotta see some amazing asses before that really evens out.
