[The voice that prods at everyone is so quiet and tentative, it's probably pretty easily ignored, even despite being a voice in everyone's heads. Mai's just that bad at this psychic network thing.

She's trying, though.]

U-um... excuse me, everyone... Er, everyone that can hear me...

[focus, Mai]

I-it's just...does anyone know what we're supposed to be doing? I mean, everyone's wearing such spectacular masks and costumes, but... it's a little lonely...not being able to tell who everyone is...

[You're rambling, Mai.]

Ah! I don't want to take up too much of your time, everyone...I was just wondering... and if there's anything I can do, I definitely want to do my best...! Is it important to figure out who's who...?

...Thank you...for listening.

[She just feels a little alone, with everyone masked and hidden as they are.

ooc: this is a totally open psychic network post, feel free to use it to communicate about identities or what-have-you!]

Oh....

[she's bemused by that, and it shows on her face. Difficult for her...? That's too considerate, Saitou, nobody's ever said that to her out of her own love interests! So she smiles a moment later, touched, and shakes her head.]

That's okay, Saitou-san! I don't mind if it's any trouble, so long as it isn't trouble for you...

Besides... you're always helping me like this, so... so I want to help too!

[He really doesn't understand it, even when she puts it in terms like that. Repaying debts was something he could understand, but maybe it's difficult because— he didn't see himself like that. He didn't see himself as someone or something that needed to be repaid.

Maybe he's just not used to it? It was a pretty thankless job that he did, after all. But then again, maybe it's just because he saw himself more as a weapon than a person. He was like a means to an end more than anything.

Either way, he's not going to argue it anymore. If she understood that it was dangerous and didn't care... well, what was he supposed to do? In the end, whatever she chose to do wasn't really his concern, even if she did think it was for his benefit.]

...I see. Then you may do as you wish.
