[This mission might seem confusing at first, although if you scan the crowds, in their minds certain keywords will crop up relating to having or testing one's courage. "Burger", "Karaoke", and "Horror House" are among them, the latter of which is apparently a game at the arcade. There also seems to be a war movie playing at the theater, or perhaps you have your own ideas about courage? Either way, there's a lot of options, but it seems that just doing one of them by yourself isn't enough. Somehow, it has to be shared by as many people as possible...]

[Sasuke gives a heavy sigh.]

All right. Out with it. What's wrong?

[notsogrimreaper]

Ah! N-Nothing! It's just... some things I need to figure out.

[Ryoji automatically becomes angry with himself for backing out like that, when people needed to know the truth, but he had to remind himself that Ichigo and Asakura both knew what was going on, and at least Ichigo would kill him. Asakura, troll that he is, wouldn't dare give Ryoji what he wanted.

Sasuke would probably do the same as Ichigo... Ryoji had to tell him. Just not now.]

[shinbunshinobi]

[He looks Ryoji straight in the eyes before taking a long sip of his soda.]

If that's what you need to do then do it.

But a word of advice. Thinking's good and all, but don't get stuck only doing that.

[notsogrimreaper]

R-Right... I'm sorry.

And I do have a plan, don't worry. That's why I don't want to burden you with it.

[He fidgets a bit, awkward.]

I may have to say goodbye, though... When you all move on to the next world, I likely won't be coming with you.

[shinbunshinobi]

........

[Something is definitely going on. This whole week has been strange, and no one seems to be telling him a damn thing. He can only do so much recon by himself with all those different Noise wandering around.]

I don't think you're the one who gets to decide that.

[notsogrimreaper]

No. Most of the time, you wouldn't be able to decide when you get to escape the Game... I have a way, though.

[Of course, it isn't the same as escaping and returning to one's own world. Even getting sealed away wasn't as powerful, as irreversible, as getting completely wiped from existence.

...Which is why Ryoji is keeping quiet about it right now. He really would like to tell Sasuke, but it was difficult enough discussing it with Ichigo, and if Ichigo's already agreed to help him, why should he worry more people with it? Not to mention he's not as close with Sasuke as he is with other people he'd consider telling.]

[shinbunshinobi]

... And that would be?

[Really, Ryoji. You bring that up, and you don't expect others to ask?]

[notsogrimreaper]

... I shouldn't tell you.

[He was hopeful that Sasuke would take what he could get in that situation.]
