I'm not asking to give you my opinion, I'm--

[It's no use. He can't get them to even glance his direction.

WELL... FINE THEN >:T

He could stand here and continue to make himself a nuisance for as long as it takes to provoke a reaction, but he can't see that ending in him getting any actual answers.

To be clear: even if the Regent is viewing this exchange in a transactional sense, that's not Ryunosuke's take on the situation. A leader with a grand vision should have no problem making at least an attempt at explaining it, if only to increase buy-in among those who already follow them. By refusing to provide even a single compelling reason for their silence beyond just 'not feeling like explaining', they've all but solidified Ryunosuke's suspicion that the Regent doesn't actually know what they want, past an end of all things. They don't have a single clue how to actually improve the world, do they? They just want to tear it all down and be done.

It's always a risk, choosing to maintain silence. In many situations, it can be an admission of guilt. If the Regent didn't want that to be Ryunosuke's takeaway from this, well... Maybe they shouldn't have summoned them all to a goddamned courtroom.

He'll just be standing here. Glaring. Listening for a moment to cut in again. Like a dog with a bone, he's not letting this thing go.]
