[There's no honest to god guarantee that Hajime would be accepted by group majority, but the chances seem good enough that if Ryuji pledges for him, then that's honestly... probably good enough. They were already down a few (really, really missed) members, and it's not that the numbers mattered in the end, it was the heart behind the group.

It's kind of weird though, he's starting to pick up on intuitions when Hajime isn't being entirely forthright with himself, but he doesn't push it and tell him that he's wrong outright out of a care for his feelings.]

Well... I mean, if we don't take you in, we're just gonna have to kill you, so.

[He smiles at Hajime, obviously joking around, and then gives him a friendly shove. Don't take it so seriously.]

And even then, now that you do know, there's really... no turnin' back anyway.
