[ hah, yes, isagi would wouldn't he? but no. he doesn't want successors for one thing. for another, isagi is too... ordinary. he grew up in comfort and stability, loved by his parents with a strong support system, and the admiration that shines in his eyes is deeply childish. ah, but kaiser did light up a fire in him thanks to that ridiculous stunt he pulled during the introductory assessment. then isagi approached him with his desire to defeat kaiser, and noa saw he could add fuel to that fire. neither of them see how he's quietly contributed to their feud without having to do much at all.

in short - isagi is a strong player but too emotional. he isn't ready to throw everything away to win.

kaiser though? kaiser didn't have much at all growing up. all that he's gained so far is extremely precarious in nature. he could lose everything and have nothing to fall back on. noa was the same way. that isn't why he's interested in kaiser, but it would be a lie to say it isn't a factor. the foolish sentimentality of seeing yourself in the eyes of another.

but! the fact that kaiser is asking for a break? the nerve. ]

Oh, am I mistaken? Or wasn't this movie night meant to be your break? It was your idea. [ surely that was the idea right? this didn't happen because he was incorrectly messaged, right??? ] Maybe you should have left when you had the chance instead of rolling on my bed like a spoiled beast.
