[Jack’s initial alarm at that last bit of info is impossible to miss, despite a quick attempt to smother it.]

Really? Also, good to know.

[It’s hard to pin down if that was meant to be a serious threat or just the kind of half threatening joke that villains can be prone to. Even harder to discern whether or not it’s a lie, though that’s less concerning to him than whether or not it was a sign he should watch his back.

But you know what? Two could play at that game.

Tension melting away he casually rests his chin on his hand as he puts on the most innocent smile he could manage, adapting a rather poor imitation of Kokichi’s speech patterns just for good measure.]

And you know, that’s kind of a funny coincidence. The last few great leaders I worked for who manipulated me ended up...well, I couldn't kill them, but they sure wished they could die.

[It’s both a lie and not. A stretch of the truth, maybe. Some version of him had done that and he sure had the memories of it, but time’s screwy.

And between his teasing smile, mocking attempt to imitate Kokichi’s cadence, and the fact that he can’t quite bring himself to sound as proud of that as he would like, it’s equally difficult to tell whether or not he’s serious.]

But they weren’t ultimate supreme leaders so they were obviously more flawed then you probably are.
